ASP.NET 3.5 website under an ASP.NET MVC 3 application - getting Do not have permission error
===

So I'm rewriting an application that was an ASP.NET 3.5 website. There is a folder that has ASHX handlers. These handlers are APIs called by external apps. My solution is to run this API folder under the new MVC site as an 3.5 application. The URLs stay the same and everything will work wonderfully.

In the MVC app, I have forms authentication enabled in the web.config. I IgnoreRoute the API folder in Global.asax.cs. I created a new app pool for .NET 2.0 and assigned it to the new app created on the API folder.

Accessing the handler from the server works, I get my custom error as I did not specify my credentials. Accessing the handler from my machine, I get *You do not have permission to view this directory or page.* I created a default.aspx page in the API folder and the page displays. So it's a handler (ASHX) issue.
