Hi

Please refer to the following link:

Regrads,

I am having the same issue as Tim. Previewing a page works fine on my local machine, however on the live version I am getting a "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied" error when trying to preview any page.

I have looked at the link provided by Samira above but I fail to see how it relates to this problem.

I have also made sure write permissions have been set on the "App_Data" folder and the "preview" folder within it but the error remains.

From IIS add index.htm and index.html to default documents list, issue will be solved

I am having the same issues. Index.html and index.htm is in the default document list. Any other idea how to fix this?

I changed index.html to default.aspx so I could exclude the problem of directory listing. When changing to file to default.aspx it still doesn't work. Seems IIS somehow blocks the directory listing on the umbraco/preview/ directory.

I fixed the issue by creating a rewrite rule in the web.config:

 <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Preview voor Umbraco">
                <match url="^umbraco/preview/" />
                 <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                    <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^id=(.*)" />                       
                </conditions>
                <action type="Rewrite" url="umbraco/preview/index.html" appendQueryString="true" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

Try removing the "Preview" folder, from your "/Umbraco" directory on live.

Umbraco HQ removed this folder, and placed the new preview templates in the Umbraco/Views folder.
