Fix ScriptResource.axd 403 Errors in ASP.NET on IIS 8

So, I deployed my ASP.NET solution using Infragistics to my IIS 8 web hosting platform on Windows 2012 Server. However, I am consistently getting errors with ScriptResource.axd file. And it is very random too. It doesn’t happen all the time, but happens often enough. I get errors similar to the following:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden):  https://<ip>/ScriptResource.axd?d=NBaskljasg

The part after the question mark is random, but I have tried different IIS settings, but nothing seems to work. I have Google this issue, but none of the suggestions seem to work, but seem to only refer to 404 problems.

Does IIS 8 have to be configured in a specific way for it to run properly?

Hello Paul,

Thank you for contacting Infragistics.

You should not make any special configurations.

Could you send me a sample application so I could host it on IIS and perform some tests on it?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Not sure it would be that straight forward. I can't reproduce it when using IIS Express. And all research points to some form of configuration due to the forbidden errors I get in the browser logs. I am not sure sending across a sample would reproduce the problem as it could be unique to just my environment.

Hello Paul,

Yes, you are right. Still, I could try to reproduce it if you send me a sample and share the IIS version and the settings you use.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.
