HTTP 403 Error in IIS
Hi,
I'm new to IIS and trying to run a sample on my XP Pro. Created a folder in wwwroot and when trying to open http://localhost/ etc... I'm getting this:
The website declined to show this webpage HTTP 403 Most likely causes: * This website requires you to log in. What you can try: Go back to the previous page. More information This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage. For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.
Any ideas?

I then also discovered where to specify to go to defualt.aspx when not entered as part of the url. Thanks.
I find it easier to troubleshoot these issues if you make the security permissive, then more restricive incrimentialy.
