Have you looked in the logs to see if there are any errors? It could be many things from database connection issues to file permissions. The log file found in

/app_data/logs/UmbracoTraceLog.txt

may shed a little bit more light on the reasons.

This is part of UmbracoTraceLog.txt

I can see an error. Could that be causing failure? How is it resolved? I visited 'http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Using-Umbraco/Config-files/umbracoSettings/#ScheduledTasks' but I cannot figure out what I am expected to do.

Thanks

Hi,

Just a suggestion but have you got the correct perissions set for the App pool user?

There is a guide here if you are not sure

https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions

Thanks

Group IIS_IUSRS has modify permisions to the root directory, where umbraco files and folders live.

I am struggling for quite a few days without success. Can someone help please?

The "ERROR Umbraco.Web.Scheduling.ScheduledPublishing" error should not prevent your site from loading.

Log actually sais you succesfully logged in?

"2015-06-22 13:55:00,460 [6] INFO Umbraco.Web.Security.WebSecurity - [T21/D11] User Id: 0 logged in"

maybe clear all cookies, try in privacy modus or a different browser?

• Maybe have a look with Fiddler to see if any requests are failing?
• does your applicationpool user have write permissions on required .NET temp folders? (adding it to the IIS USERS group should suffice.)
• have you tried forcing the inheritance of the permission on the files in the site? procedure:

How about right-clicking each parent directory, going to Properties, then Security tab, then click Advanced, then click Change Permissions, then check that checkbox that says "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object"?

in this topic: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/61849-Session-timedout-can-not-login-to-back-office-after-updating-to-Umbraco-722 one user fixed it by

In your local IIS try setting up your umbraco site as a new website instead of a an application within a website.

I had problems logging in because I hadn't configured SQL Server Express properly.

You need to

• make sure the blank database has been set up in SQL Server prior to your first login
• make sure the SQL Server "umbraco" user is set up in Users, and in Roles (as dbo_owner) for that database
• make sure when you select "Customise" in the initial umbraco setup, that you use [yourServerName]\SQLEXPRESS
• check your web.config to see what the connection string is telling you
• check your permissions! For a full list of things to do, check this page https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/how-to-install-umbraco-on-windows-server-2008

Many thanks for all responses!

The problem was solved following Rik Helsen's suggestion 'In your local IIS try setting up your umbraco site as a new website instead of a an application within a website'.

Thanks again
