    Setting up local IIS, 403 - Forbidden, full file permissions already

    I'm trying to browse my website from my local IIS server. As of now, when I try to run I get a "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. " error.

    If I run the site with IIS Express on Visual Studio, the site comes up properly.

    I don't have a strong grasp of how to set up an IIS since I'm new to web development, so I appreciate any help.

    Using:

    1. Umbraco 7.10.4
    2. IIS Manager
    3. Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17
    4. Microsoft Visual Studio 2017

    web.config:

    • During fresh installation, I set the database type to SQL (Express) with the database credentials set up as a User

      add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="server=[ServerName];database=[DatabaseName];user id=[UserID];password='[Password]'" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

    IIS Settings:

    • Physical path points to the folder where the web.config and the rest off the installed Umbraco folders and files are
    • I've tried connecting as an application user and with my own computer's administrator login
    • Application Pool is .NET 4.0 with Integrated Pipeline
    • Identity - ApplicationPoolIdentity
    • Bindings to the host name and IP address defined in my System32 host file
    • Anonymous Authentication enabled

    Permissions:

    • The designated folder for the Site has full control to Everyone, SYSTEM, my administrator login, [computer]\Administrators, [computer]\IIS_IUSRS, and IIS AppPool[AppPoolName]
    • These permissions are just so I can try and get it to run locally and then narrowing down the permissions

    When I've had similar 403 errors with IIS check it has been down to missing this setting in web.config - check if you have it: 

    <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>

    Thanks for responding. Unfortunately I've got that line in the config already.
