Directory Listing Denied IIS ERROR

External Since: Jan 12, 2004 Posts: 1

Hi all,

I get the following error after turning off IE's "Show
Friendly HTTP Errors" option.
"Directory Listing Denied" This Virtual Directory does
not allow contents to be listed.

I previously used to get the following error before
turning off show friendly HTTP errors
"HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden....You are not authorized to
view this page" message when trying to access QUICK START
tutorial after installing windows xp pro, vs.net 2003 and
IIS 5.1 .......

can someone lemme know the reason and remedy for this.
tia,
raj.

2 remedies:
a: turn on directory browsing OR
b: configure a default document for the directory

....depending on what you are trying to do.
