Browsing to Site Results in User ID / Password Prompt
I just set up an account with Godaddy for a dedicated server on a machine that is windows 2003 with IIS6. I have both Plesk access and remote desktop. I set up a site, www.atramember.com, and it works great. Then I copied that site and uploaded the files to another site, www.deans-quality-transmissions.com The latter site worked great - at first. Then all of a sudden, I start getting a prompt for user id and password. Godaddy tech support tells me I am "on my own". Can someone tell me why I am getting prompted for this info on one site but not on another?

IIS will cause your browser to prompt for authentication if any element of the page doesn't have sufficient permissions for the IIS user account.
You probably have some link or hard-coded reference to the previous server file locations.

Doug, thanks so much. So do I go after changing the permissions OR look for the hard-coded reference to the previous server file location? I'm am not sure what you mean by the latter...

Look for any urls referencing a disk location, like <img src="file:///c/inetpub/myimage.gif" or something. Or review any links to css, scripts, images, or include pages and make sure the links don't refer to a protected folder location on the server. Your server admin will have to make permission changes normally.
