HTTP Error 400.13: Still getting just the structure of my files, even after enabling Directory Browsing on IIS7.0!!!

Question

Hello,

Each time I deploy my application either on my laptop (Vista) or on my desktop(XP), I'm getting the following error: "HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory". After doing some researches, I'm advised to enable "Directory Browsing". But, instead of getting the application run, I'm getting a blank page with the structure of my application.

Something like:

10/7/2010  7:35 AM        <dir> ExternalAssemblies
10/7/2010 10:41 AM        <dir> MyApplication.Domain
10/7/2010 10:43 AM        <dir> MyApplication.WebUI
10/7/2010 11:04 AM          168 web.config

I've tried also to do what it's said on this article from Microsoft, but I still get the above result.

I've started to suspect the structure of the package I put in the server folder. In fact, when I create an application that has the primitive structure (the one you get when you create a new application), then it works. But, if I add one or more class library, the I get the above error. I'm not sure where the problem lay, but I suspect that aspect.

Thanks for helping

Answer 1

You probably do not have a default document.

As far as I can see, the directory listing looks just like it should.

Answer 2

Just a thought, but shouldn't your IIS web folder perhaps be pointing at MyApplication.WebUI instead?
