This article was previously published under Q153437 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to your Internet Information Server (IIS) web site
via Internet Explorer with only the server name as a URL you will get the following the error message:
You are not allowed to access this server.
CAUSE
The default document that you have specified in your directory set up does
not exist.
RESOLUTION- Go to the IIS Manager and double click the web server. Select the
Directories property tab.
NOTE: The name of the default document and that the Enable Default
Document check box is selected.
- Check the home directory listed in the directory list to be sure that
the default document file is there.
A default document is included with IIS. It is not placed in
the wwwroot directory by default as it is only a sample. The wwwroot
directory is generally the home directory for the IIS web server.
