Hi Frank and welcome to our.

Perhaps you can try to add the code from this http://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/46548-U7-HTTP-405-Error-when-attempting-to-delete-backoffice-content thread to your webconfig and see if it solve it.

Or try to go to /App_Data/Logs, and see if the log file can give you some more information about why you can´t login to Umbraco backoffice.

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Dennis, Thanks for the reply, but remove webdav from the web-config didn't help.

I've had a look the log - and here's what I get (the last linies)

Hi Frank,

You said that you publish it to a dev server. Did you install your copy the database  on your dev-server and setup a user and password for the SQL server. And change the connection string in the web config file, so it point on the database on your dev environment.

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Yes I did. I'm sure the connection string is ok. (using the sa user)

I can login/connect fine from my local machine (F5) - but when I publish to the dev server, I cant login.

I'm using the same dedicated SQL-seerver in both cases. (SQL server 2008 R2)

Something about Umbraco my IIS dosn't like?

Running Win 2008 R2 server standard.

Hi Frank,

Perhaps it could be a IIS thing, maybe a permission issue. http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions These permissions should be set before or during the insallation of umbraco. The user with the permissions set are the user used by the Application Pool used by the IIS website (usually Network Service or the IIS_IUSRS group). If in doubt, ask your server admin /

Hope this helps, else I am empty for ideas of what i could be. Since you can login on your local machine there must be some difference in your dev environment

/Dennis

When I look at the console, at the login page, I see the 405 error, and when I follow the resource link, I get this error:

------------------------------------
)]}',

{"Message":"The requested resource does not support http method 'GET'."}
 

How can I enable GET?

/Frank

Hi Frank.

I was thinking if it could be the user that has been locked out of Umbraco backoffice. You have access to the database, then try find the umbracoUser table, in there you please check that value in the column called UserNoConsole is set to false for the user that you are trying to login with. If not that try to change it from true to false and then see if you can login.

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi again,

OK, there I fixet i myself... as usual :-)
The thing was, I have an IIS lowercase rule, that Umbraco didnt like.

Here's the problem and the solution:
