Another friends of mine is having problem viewing ASPX website. Whenever she typed in an URL, “Server Application Unavailable” is shown. Checked everything is okay. The IIS is configured to use .Net Framework 2.0 and the web application is created. I even added localhost as a trusted site. Googled it and returned not much help.

Eventually, I found out that the problem is due to folder security issue. Weird enough, after adding “Everyone” with “Modify” permission on the webfolder (not wwwroot, but the sub-folder of it containing ASPX scripts), the web site is displayed properly. I tried removing “Everyone” and try the same URL again and it’s still working. Plain weird.

Basically, if you faced this problem, try my method. It may help.
