    Directory Listing Denied

     

    I've copied the files to the root of my local website.  When I run localhost/install/default.aspx I can see an orange page and a button "lets get started". If I click that button I get the error "Directory Listing Denied". If I enable that in IIS I get a directory listing, which is not very helpful :)

    So what am I doing wrong?

    Make sure the site is setup as an application in IIS.

    I don't know what that means..

    Are you talking about "Application settings" under Home Directory tab?

    Starting point:

    Execute permissions: Scrips only (EDIT: changed this to scripts and executables, no difference)

    Application pool: DefaultAppPool

    sounds like that is okay... make sure your apppool is .net 4.0

    Hmm...I don't know how to do that. While googling I saw some dialogs where you could set it when adding apppool.

    Like this:

    http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.applicationHost/applicationPools

     

    But my dialog looks more like this:

    http://www.developer.com/net/asp/article.php/2245511/IIS-and-ASPNET-The-Application-Pool.htm

     

    I don't see any relevant settings if I look at properties for DefaultAppPool

     

    I'm using XP Pro SP2, 64 bit.

    Hi DarkCoder

    To check which version of .NET you are using you can open op the Internet Information Server (IIS) Manager. In here you have to click the Application Pools option, and now you'll see a list of application pools available to you. In the list you can find the app pool you are using "DefaultAppPool". If you a little to the right, you can se a column called .NET Framework version. does this say 2.0 or 4.0 ?

    I can only see columns "Path" and "Description". There are no other columns available if I try to customize (Add) columns.

    I am having trouble with this too... I think DarkCoder is using IIS6.0 -- which is what I'm using as well (IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003  Web Edition).  Anyone know why this is?

    Hah, just got this.  Must've installed Umbraco a thousand times (a million maybe) and never seen it before.  I'm installing 4.7.1.1 on a Win2003 server with the website set to .Net4 and like the other posters throws the "Directory Listing Denied" error after clicking Let's get started.  I've installed Umbraco on here before too with sites that have been running for months.  I know it's Friday afternoon, but this is very odd.

    I'll do some fiddling.

    Did you enable Default.aspx as the default content page?

    Also did you give the ASPNET account rights to the directory?

    Wow.  Of all the dumb things.  Funny how you overlook things like that, but odd that a server with .Net installed doesn't automatically include default.aspx.  Actually sometimes it does which I guess is why I didn't think too look.

    Good shot Paul.

    Cheers,

    Andy.
