       </system.web>

回答1:

Make sure Anonymous access is enabled on IIS -> Authentication.

But also right click on it, then click on Edit, and choose a domain\username and password. (With access to the physical folder of the application).

回答2:

Open Project properties by selecting project then go to

View>Properties Windows

and make sure Anonymous Authentication is Enabled

Old question but anyway !

Same thing happen to me this morning, everything was working fine for weeks before...... yes guess what ... I change my windows PC user account password yesterday night !!!!! (how stupid was I !!!)

So easy fix : IIS -> authentication -> Anonymous authentication -> edit and set the user and new PASSWORD !!!!!

I had the same issue, and spent quite a bit of time trying to track down the solution. I had Anonymous Authentication set up at two different levels with two different users. Make sure that you're not overwriting your set up at a lower level.
