hi manishse,

Have you actually set the default document of your site? Your default page may be in the name of home.html and if this is the case, you must set this up on the IISin order to avoid this error message.

If this has been set and you still experience the same issue, can you please try to look at the Windows Event Viewer log file?

Thanks

Do you host sample.shrisaigroup.co.in on a shared hosting account or dedicatd server?

Try add read permission for users group and network service on website home folder.

If you use shared hosting, there should be control panel and hosting account should have proper permission for asp.net.

You need to make sure your sub domain is pointed to the "sample" folder and your have default page configured properly on IIS.

Hi,

I got the error 403 forbidden: access is denied

This status code is recorded in the IIS log, and it may also be displayed in the Web browser or FTP client. The status code can also indicate the exact reason why a request is unsuccessful.

403 - Forbidden. You can receive this generic 403 status code if the Web site has no default document set, and the site is not set to allow Directory Browsing.
