Access Not Allowed When Accessing Web Server

• Microsoft Internet Information Server 1.0
• Microsoft Internet Explorer, versions 1.0, 2.0

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

1. 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.



2. 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.
