403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

Hi guys, thanks in advance for your help.
I have installed nopCommerce on Arvixe hosting. the home page working well but when I click on a category or product the page show this error:

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Can someone help me? I don't know what's the problem.

1)I have created a virtual directory called "shop"

for this virtual directory I've made this change:

2) for Security Settings:
  a)Enable Write Permissions
  b)Enable Directory Browsing
  c)Enable Parent Paths

3) for Extension Tab:
  a)Asp.Net 4.0 (Integrated Pipeline)

4)for autentication tab:
a)Allow Anonymous Access
b)Enable Integrated Windows Authentication

You don't need 2b. That can be turned off.

NopCommerce uses Forms Authentication so turn that on and Windows Authentication off. Not sure if that will fix it but it might.

thanks kingboyk but the problem is still alive.
I think the problem is relative to url rewrite sistem because the site is working in the other sections, tags, new product, blog, but i can't navigate in products and caegories where ulr rewrite sistem is used.

anyone can help me?

thanks

there is the same problem after an installation from arvixe staff.
this mean that the problem is in the hosting service...

it may be because you have not given NETWORK SERVICE write permissions to you image folder

( on the category or product page, if there is a product image, the store tries to create a thumbnail image and write to the filesystem - if network service has no 'write' permission to the image folder, it cannot do this and throws an error


for more specific details, go into admin --> system --> log  and see if you can find there error - you can post it here

thanks to all for the support.
the positive solution of the problem was found in the url rewrite rules because in the wwwroot folder was installed wordpress blog that had modified the web.config with a rules.


<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
  <match url="*" />
  <conditions>
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
</rule>

the nopcommerce software was installed under "wwwroot/shop"

i need to modify this rules to keep alive wordpress + nopcommerce
anyone have the right solution?
thanks

Many thanks to Adam from "xxx" support staff that has solved the issue.

how did you solved the problem ? can you post it here please?

Bella gino. I have eliminated wordpress because new rules caused more problems.

I was setting a site up on a new websitepanel installation and selecting the ASP.NET 4.0 (Integrated Pipeline) option on the "Extensions" tab on the web site properties page in the WebSitePanel fixed the 403 error I was getting.
