Problems after installing Sharepoint Services

[Brent]

Hi,
Recently, we installed Sharepoint Services on our test server (Server 2003)
to try it out. I made a new web for my regular aspx pages. My problem is
that now whenever I try to access my old pages, it prompts for a username
and password for that server. I want it to allow anonymous web requests from
this server. (Anonymous is checked off under web properties already). If I
click cancel on the Username and Password prompt, I see this message...
please help...
thanks,
Brent

SPS (FP2000 ext) changes default IIS ananymouse user, so this why you see
the warning. You have to either change it back (need major changes in SPS)
or just change ASP.NET user default user in Machine.asa to fit your needs.
If you have Active Directory it can be a piece of work

It can help you:
You also need to enable anonymous access on the iis virtual server otherwise
IIS will prompt you for credentials.

Here are some steps:
1. Create a new IIS virtual server and set this to be anonymous
2. Then using the SPS admin pages using the "Extend an existing virtual
server" map this server by using an existing appl pool
(mssharepointportalapppool).
3. Now browse to this new site and change the anonymous access settings to
enable anonymous access.
4. Provide this address to those users who require anonymous access.

If you dont do the above and you just enable anonymous access via IIS for
the default web site you will lose authenticated access then.

Ok, I'm not sure I'm following those steps correctly...
I have the "Default Web Site" which is now SPS, and I added a new one called
"TestWeb" which I made the default directory be wwwroot2 (A new folder under
inetpub). I have the frontpage server extensions 2002 configured for this
server (version 5.0.2.5012). And under the properties, "Enable Anonymous
Access" is checked off with the user "IUSR_DEVTESTER" being used. What do I
need to change? You said that default anon user is not the same anymore? Can
I just enter another username for it to use?
