iis http 403 – CRM Kitchen

When you publish your web site on IIS , you may get an error like this.

HTTP Error 403.14 – Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

Resolution 1 : Check your Application Pool’s .NET Framework version !

When you add a new web site without default application pool, IIS set default .NET Framework 2 version for your site. So you have to change your application pool’s framework version.

Open IIS Manager
Go to application pools
Select your app pool and click basic settings to configure.

Resolution 2 : Edit your web.config file

keep this into your web config file then rename the add value=”yourwebformname.aspx”

<system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
       <files>
          <add value="insertion.aspx" />
       </files>
    </defaultDocument>
    <directoryBrowse enabled="false" />
</system.webServer>

<system.webServer>

<files>

</files>

</defaultDocument>

</system.webServer>

<system.webServer>
    <directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
</system.webServer>

<system.webServer>

</system.webServer>
