I am running Vista Ultimate SP2 and Visual Studio 2008. I am getting the following error and would like to know how to fix it and how to fix it so that I am not asked for admin privilages all the time. I am the administrator, Here is the error I am getting: Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE/BALLOONSHOP" Internet Information Services 7.0 Error Summary HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory. Detailed Error Information Module DirectoryListingModule Notification ExecuteRequestHandler Handler StaticFile Error Code 0x00000000 Requested URL http://localhost:80/BalloonShop/ Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\BalloonShop\ Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous Most likely causes: A default document is not configured for the requested URL, and directory browsing is not enabled on the server. Things you can try: If you do not want to enable directory browsing, ensure that a default document is configured and that the file exists. Enable directory browsing using IIS Manager. Open IIS Manager. In the Features view, double-click Directory Browsing. On the Directory Browsing page, in the Actions pane, click Enable. Verify that the configuration/system.webServer/directoryBrowse@enabled attribute is set to true in the site or application configuration file. Links and More InformationThis error occurs when a document is not specified in the URL, no default document is specified for the Web site or application, and directory listing is not enabled for the Web site or application. This setting may be disabled on purpose to secure the contents of the server. View more information Thank you for your assistace.LadyDee

Have you already tried the resolutions proposed in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/942062/?Steve

Yes, I have tried that and I used this when I was using Windows XP. I have a new computer now with Vista Ultimate SP2, and that is what I am getting. Trying to study for my test.

Does anyone have an answer for this problem?Thank youLadydee

I have the exact same problem with IIS7 on Server 2008.Thing is, I have one website that I used the 'default web site' for. This works fine. Any new site I create pointing to a different port (in this instance :8080) gets the 403.14 error, and yes I have the default document configured. I would prefer not to enable directory listing for obvious reasons.When I specify the document name in the URL, I get a 404.0 file not found though the file does in factexist. Permissions on the directory are the same as on the default website: I am using anonymous access and the IIS user has appropriate access. When I test access through 'basic settings' everything is good.So why can't I get to it through a browser? Even on the localhost?I would copy the 'default web site' but I haven't figured out how to do that in the 'new and improved' IIS. Mightbe an Apache download in my near future. Anyone??Thanks,Shambie

Hi ladydee, I have faced the same problem...and solved.. Please follow the steps .. http://www.smallworkarounds.net/2010/01/http-error-40314-forbidden-web-server.html Thanks RK

Check your internet options security tab and see if it has been reset. Sometimes a program will reset your security settings. Also check for content and see if the content tab has been reset to other than standard settings.

Hi Ravi, this does not solve the problem: this solution requires directory browsing to be enabled - not all people can do this (shared hosting etc.). i have a strange similiar situation (to Shambie) on my dev machine at home (W2K8 R2) i dont have a problem with this, but on the live system i have - funny thing is, this is also a W2K8 R2; and heck, this is since the last update of the system and i don't know what to do, since i can't rollout latest version of our system (and yes: on my dev machine directory browsing is *disabled*, and it still works - config on live system is same as on dev machine) Has anybode experienced same issues?

Hi, Have you tried these: 1.) Run a command prompt as Administrator. 2.) Copy and paste the following text “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i”

Hi, Have you tried these: 1.) Run a command prompt as Administrator. 2.) Copy and paste the following text “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i” That worked for me! Thank you Amir!

This did not work for me. It says the path specified cannot be found. I looked at the folder and the latest version seems to be v3.5. What can I do now?

I did that but now there is a different error: 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe-i' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

There is a space towards the end between exe and the -i. So C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i -- .. -- "karan.manglani" wrote in message news:b953bb06-5b5f-4840-bc17-c0afce0caa04... >I did that but now there is a different error: > > 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe-i' is > not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or > batch file. >

Thanks for the help David. Got it installed; however, i still have the same problem that I had originally which is a problem with my default document. HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directoy. Module: DirectoryListingModule Notification: ExecuteRequestHandler Handler: StaticFile Error Code: 0x00000000 Requested URL: https://localhost:443/ Physical Path: C:\Windows\Web Logon Method: Anonymous Logon User: Anonymous I am trying to set up Remote Desktop Web Access on my own domain. If I browse to the application in IIS, the webpage is displayed; however, when browsing to the actual site, I am forbidden. My default document is enabled and has the following entries: Default.htm Default.asp index.htm index.html iistart.htm default.aspx All entries are inherited. I do not want to enable Directory Browsing. I just want the app to open when I visit the domain. All help is greatly appreciated!
