Error in Executing application from localhost

suzzain

Hi all, When Im trying to execute my page through localhost like this http://localhost/default.aspx im getting the following error HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden Internet Information Services. Please tell me what are the possible causes and how my page can execute?

Hi, open the MMC IIS, select your virtual directory (did you forgot to set one?) and grant execution rights (checkboxes on the first tab). Regards Sebastian

It's not a bug, it's a feature! Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect. Me in Softwareland.

I have done this but still im getting the error.

Where is your default.aspx located? It seems like you put this one under the "Default Web Site". I don't know if you need a virtual directory for this (e.g. http://localhost/MyVirtualDirectory/default.aspx).

yes I have put it under Default website.

Well, then open the "Default Web Site"-property window, go to the tab "Base directory" and check whether the executing properties (second dropdownlist from bottom) are set (at least to scripts).
