iis server 403 error can not login

Hey @vannasu

You might want to check this out: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-403-forbidden-error-in-wordpress/

Potential causes could include: File Permission issues, issues with rewrite rules. Please note that since you are on a windows environment, you would have a web.config file and not .htaccess.

 ? <rewrite>

? ? ? <rules>

<rule name="WordPress: https://dev.m31tech.com" patternSyntax="Wildcard">

<match url="*" />

<conditions>

<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />

<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />

</conditions>

<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />

</rule></rules>

? ? </rewrite>

@vannasu

Looks about alright. Usually its this: https://solutions.hostmysite.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/8793/278/wordpress-webconfig-file-for-windows

I would suggest starting with deactivating all plugins by renaming the plugins folder. See if that fixes it. Next try to change file permissions as mentioned in this article: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-403-forbidden-error-in-wordpress/

What did you change last?

Hi, thank you Kuldeep? .

I finally resolved the issue. Following the instructions provided above, I verified that the folders were set to 755 and recursively inclusive. After restarting the plugins and themes, I decided to reset the web config as well. Surprisingly, this allowed for successful login, and the backend functions properly.

So, my solution involved pasting the web config file again and using the default file from this URL: https://gist.github.com/Toddses/7f3729ddf7c6466bb3dc. Additionally, I utilized the IIS interface system to have IT personnel adjust relevant permission settings. As a result, the backend login works correctly now. Great news!

Awesome ??
