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

Hi

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.

<authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms loginUrl="~/login.aspx" name="appName" timeout="60" path="/"> </forms>
</authentication>

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!!!! 

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?
