Well, it worked for a few days then started doing the same thing again: Looking for the login.aspx file in the admin folder.

.Any ideas now?

Server Error in '/library/admin' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /library/admin/login.aspx

That did it. I had originally tried that, but with the web.config file in the admin folder and that didn't work. Thats so much!!!!

e_stylzz:

it looks for the login.aspx file in the admin folder instead of the root. If I change to where it points in the web.config file, I can't get past the login form. Any ideas?

I suggest you specify absolute path for loginUrl. Please try to add this line in web.config file which locate at Root path of website.

Currently what I have setup will work for a day or two then it will stop working.

Protected pages are located in a folder called admin. The admin folder also has a web.config file to deny all users.

At the root level I have a login page and a web.config file with usernames and passwords hardcoded in.

I read that this is how to set it up and it will work, but only for a day or two. After that, it looks for the login.aspx file in the admin folder instead of the root. If I change to where it points in the web.config file, I can't get past the login form. Any ideas?

admin/protected files

admin/web.config - only denies all users

/login.aspx

/web.config
