Thanks for the posts. I reached the same solution after searching the MS site for “Directory Listing Denied”. Index.php was not one of the choices for default documents for my website. ‘Default.htm’, ‘Default.asp’, ‘Index.htm’, and ‘iisstart.htm’ were listed, but no ‘Index.php’. Once that was added to the list, everything works as it should.
This is corrected by starting the IIS Console, selecting the website on the treeview on the left, right-clicking the website and selecting properties, then clicking on the “Documents” tab in the Properties dialog box. Click the “Add” button to add ‘Index.php’ as a default document to the list, and make sure that the “Enable Default Document” box is checked. Click “OK” or “Apply” and everything is good to go.
Thanks to both of you for your replies. I did indeed truncate ‘wwwroot’ to ‘www’.
Actually, I want to create a folder beneath the root for my site, and the the WordPress folder a level beneath that (i.e., ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\WordPress’).
Thanks again for your help.
