Why do I always get 401 when trying to access main folder of web site?

  • 772

I am trying to set up a web site on Windows Server 2008 using IIS 7.5. I have created a new application pool (TestAppPool) and a new web site at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test. I have given the Read/Execute permissions to 'IIS AppPool\TestAppPool' (using icacls). Authentication is just NTLM.

When I try to access the site, a login prompt comes and will not let me through.

I have followed through the instructions which I found at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5437723/iis-apppoolidentity-and-file-system-write-access-permissions but still cannot access the web page.

What do I need to do?

The event log contains the following:
