401 unauthorized?

well for a start, you dont tell us much, it does help to know a bit about the setup that you have and what your using or have added suport for.

IM assuming you hav installed ASP support or PHP support or another server-side language.

In a word, configuration.

Another couple of words, Read Instructions.

when you have, you may find you can find the answer quicker than we could find the answer seeing as you have not given us much to go on.

i am running win xp home sp2
trying to access it thru ie 6
i have not installed any add-on modules that was not included withj it
it is the consolse i am trying to access from my local computer
alll it ever gives me is a 401 it don't even ask me to logon

[senshi]

does it work without using a login? example before you made the login?

Two possible issues spring to mind,

the login is not valid

the path you specified does not exist for the alias name you setup.

hmmm...

for an access forbidden notice to be issued, the server must be running.

I suggest that you double check your servers web root is correct.

I get that erro when I miss off the drive letter in the physical path, the server doesnt like it.

it won't even let me access the console but from my memory the letters are still the same(it is drive G:) and the server is running i can access my website and everything just not my console i guess i will just reinstall and save my config file and just reste the password on it(even though i have already tried to do that)

[Hackr9483]

well i figured out it wasn't abyss but windows i can access the console from a network ccomputer just fine but why does it say on windows xp home sp2 i have already tried clearing all my cache and temp files i got this a while ago on winodws 2000 also and don't not know how to fix it

[senshi]

the console is accessed from clicking the little globe in the systray and choosing show console.

This will ask you for your login, the admin login is to protect your machine because the console can be accessed fro anywhere in the world IF you know your IP address and the PORT you have set.

So if you have forgotten your Admins login and password, you will have to re-install the server and wipe the gonfig file, your site will be intact, you just need to configure the server again. To 100% on not loosing any of your website, move the directory to a safe place and then do the install. Then move the folder back and you should be up and running again.

I DID NOT FORGET THE PASSWORD
i know the password i even reinstalled abyss srever to see if it woulkd work and it didn't it is a winddows issue cause i can access the console from a network pc but not on the pc that runs it this si starting to egt VERY irritating cause i am having to start up a virtual computer on micrposoft virtual pc 2004 or am having to start a netwoprk computer i hardly ever use just to veiwe my console
it just won't giev me a chnace to logon it just says 401 unauthorized it also does that with any other password protected site now for some reason so it is now not an abyss problem but a windows xp problem but does anyone know how ot fix it
