I have been looking all over the inet. But I cant find the solution that works. For some unknown to me reason, the IIS I have at work (IIS 5.1 on WinXP) stopped working. Even, when I try to browse for Default Web Site, I get this:

The page cannot be displayed

Looks like it has nothing to do with ASP.NET, since Default Web Site contains asp code and static content, that I cannot browse either.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am spending way too much time trying fix this already :(

Thanks a lot.

  • Any possibility security has changed? Can IIS read the index.html (or aspx) file ? – kevingreen Jan 02 '13 at 17:44
  • No, it cannot. Sure, it has something to do with security (HTTP 403.2 - Forbidden: Read Access Forbidden). Cant figure out how to fix this. – monstro Jan 02 '13 at 18:59
  • That's my only immediate idea, I've seen issues where somehow IIS loses read access to the folder /inetpub/www . You could try opening it up to read for all users. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas. There's a stack exchange for server questions try asking here: http://serverfault.com/ – kevingreen Jan 02 '13 at 19:03
  • Well... something screwed up probably... Reinstalling IIS helped. – monstro Jan 02 '13 at 20:55
  • haha, Well, when in doubt reinstall. Glad that fixed it. – kevingreen Jan 02 '13 at 20:56
