Article Enable AllowDotInPath in UrlScan

By default, UrlScan denies access to any URLs which include a dot in the path, so any user uploaded content in these paths is inaccessible.

To resolve this issue, take the following steps:

  1. Open urlscan.ini.

  2. Find the line that reads:
    AllowDotInPath=0
  3. Change this to:
    AllowDotInPath=1
  4. Save and close the file.

  5. If you're using versions prior to IIS7, you must restart IIS for the change to take effect.
