TFS2010 web access give 401

Question

I have a TFS2010 server that was moved from a workgroup to a domain. Version control and build are working fine (we do not have reporting or Sharepoint setup for that server). I can connect using the TFS admin console on the server using the Tfs_admin domain account and I can connect using VS2010 from my desk (domain account).

If I try to connect to Web access (http://tfs.myDomain.com:8080/tfs/web) I get a 401.2 error followed by a 401.1 in the IIS logs (c:\inetpub\logs\Logfiles\W3SVC8080). The IIS app pool is set to run in classic mode on V4.0 and using the myDomain\Tfs_admin account. If this is an authentication issue, what account should I use? I did try to use myDomain\Tfs_admin and even that does not work.

If I go to: http://tfs.myDomain.com:8080/tfs/web/IndexLimited.aspx I get a page but in Firebug I can see that all .css .js and images return a 404 not found. If I look in that directory on the server I can see the content.

I tried to log a ticket on the MSDN forums but I could still not get this resolved. Web access should not be so hard to setup?

Ok, more data: If I use the URL:tfs.myDomain.com:8080/tfs/Web in chrome I get challenged for username\password and I use myDomain\myAccount with the password(that works fine in VS2010) I then get the Ooops page and go to the IIS log file and I can see the "401.2 - Logon failed due to server configuration". On the next line in the log I see myDomain\myAccount and a "404.4 - No handler configured" next to it.

Answer 1

I hate answering my own question but I got it working, not via an answer but by keeping at it till it is done. I tracked it down to static(images, css, js) content that is not delivered. I focused on one image:http://tfs.myDomain:8080/tfs/web/Resources/images/company_logo.gif and that was giving me:404.4 - No handler configured so I removed the StaticFile Handler Mapping(IIS>Sites>Team Foundation Server) and rebooted the machine. I added it back in IIS and everything started working.

There are a number of steps that you have to follow in order to change the environment that TFS is functioning in.
