Issue
I have recently started an asp.net tutorial, and I want to test my page that I made with WebMatrix. How ever, there’s an error:
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
So it suggests to Enable directory browsing and go to the IIS Express install directory and run a command.
So where is this located exactly?
Solution
The user Data files are present here:
C:\Users\[username]\Documents\IISExpress
If that’s the error. Then you might have got the error 404.13 (Forbidden) on your browser.
You can try to edit the web.config file and add this:
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
This would allow the server to read the files and process them. This is a server settings error. And I think this might help you out.
Update
As suggested by jamiebarrow, you can get to that directory directly using the following path in your Windows File Explorer,
%userprofile%\documents\IISExpress
