Site works, but remote Administration does not
I think I need a little help.
I have tried so many things, so finally I installed the Project manager on the production server. Here is what I have done:
1. Created a new project on the server.
2. Created a virtual directory for the site.
3. Gave "modify" permission to App_Data folder for my App pool
4. Added wildcard application mapping as instructed
Result: site works just fine and I can admin the site from Project Manager on the server.
The problem:
If I enter ..myapp/Sitefinity from a remote computer I get the logon screen and I can log on, but whatever I try to modify, an error message popping up saying "Error". This box pops ut until I kill Internet Explorer with the Taskmanager.
It seems that I can only administrate the page if I use Project manager (that use the Telerik developement server), not IIS. It may also be a permission problem, but I do not know what to try next. Anybody who can help me?

Hello Atle,
If you can provide some more description about the "Error" this would help to give you some hints.
All the best,

Hi!
The error is just "Error". Its a small popupmessage showing "Error" (nothing else). It won't go away no matter how many times I close the box, so I have to kill it. That message comes when I go to ex. "Pages" from Dashboard.
Also, if I select Inplace edit (Show Editing Tools) , I get a popupmessage "Undefined".
Hello Atle,
Please observe the HTTP request and response. Enable service tracer log and see if there is an error there
Kind regards,

Thanks!
I have now solved the problem! At the same time some other major problems we had on the server are gone.
We had UrlScan 2.5 installed. From the UrlScan log file I could see it had blocked "URL's with "." in the path". We uninstalled URLScan and then we got a good descriptive errormessage instead of just "Error".
The problem turned out to be that we had both "Anonymous" AND "Integrated Windows authentication" activated in the Directory Security tab in IIS6. It seems that caused the problem.
Regards, and thank you for helping!
