I inherited an intranet server. WinNT 4.0 running IIS 4.0, the server all of a suddengives an http error stating that you are not authorized to view this page and that i might have permission to view the directory with the credentials i supplied. MyFTP site is running and is accessible, but the http is not. And the default web site is not stopped.

Sounds like the NTFS security permissions on the folder where the Default Web Site is kept have changed to not allow the IUSR_MACHINENAME account rights. That NT user account on the web server must have at least Read rights on the web site files.
Check out the security on the folder and the files within.

As for the FTP site, since you are logging into the FTP site, then the account you are logging in with (your NT account, NOT the IUSR_MACHINENAME account) has rights. That is why you can still go in. But when you browse web pages, you are browsing under the IUSR_MACHINENAME account (unless this was changed under the properties of the web site).

hope this helps

With the folder shared i can access the folders from the ISR_MACHINENAME account

Open Internet service manager ? console, right click on server name, in properties chose WWW service and edit to verify all options but special and .
Also if you used some patches like or check again if these don?t generate your problem (try to remove these, restore previous state).
