This occurs when the share permissions on the \\SERVERNAME\Acctivate share is not setup to allow certain accounts. In this case, the IIS_IUSRS account needs to be added in order for the webpage to appear.

  2. Right click the Acctivate Directory
  3. Properties
  4. Click on the Security > EDIT
  5. click ADD
  6. In the "Enter the object names to select..." type in IIS_IUSRS then click on CHECK NAMES to confirm. If the user account cannot be found, you may need to define a server name or domain of where the account might be.
  7. Click OK
  8. Click Apply on the folder.
  9. If you're still experiencing permission issues, please repeat steps 1-8 for the NETWORK SERVICE account.
