IIS 5.0 403 (Forbidden) error

When running http://localhost on IIS 5, I get a forbidden error (403)?  It looks like it could be related to permissions...any ideas??

Simple fix (hopefully)

you have to point your URL to a  file.
http://localhost/mysite/myfile.asp (or) myfile.htm

If you have Deleted the localstart.asp
Then it does not have nothing to point too.
You have to have something that it knows.

Check in the properties for the existing site, and then click on the [Documents] tab.
Find out what the Document types is, then browse into the Folder [Directory] Tab.
And make sure that the file types do exist.

Good Luck
