  IIS7 MVC default document problem Reply Contact At least I THINK that's the problem.  I can't get my MVC project to load.  Here is my situation: Vista Home Premium, 3.5 Framework, MVC project, IIS7 When trying to view my project in the browser (http://localhost/<myproject>), it gives me a "403.14 Forbidden. The web server is configured to not list the contents of the directory." I'm very new to MVC, and fairly new to IIS7, so I am not sure where to begin.  I have a default document set in IIS, but I have no idea what other setting(s) I am missing.  Any ideas? Thanks in advance, and please let me know if you need any more information.

  Re: IIS7 MVC default document problem Reply Contact What do you mean by having a default document set in IIS? Do you mean simply that it is installed/enabled?  I believe only the following are included in the default document settings by default, and if the name of your page is not listed, you would need to add it to the list of allowed default documents. For example, if your document was default.aspx, you would need to be sure to add it to this list: Default.htm Default.asp Index.htm Index.html Iisstart.htm Also, this is a good reference for general configuration reference information related to default document settings: http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/defaultDocument
