Directory Listing Denied : This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed

Question

I am hosting a modx website on ixwebhosting.com

After I submitted the site, I get this message when I try and access the root for example:

wwww.website.com/

or

www.website.com/manager/

I can get it to work, however, if I go directly to :

www.website.com/index.php

or

www.website.com/manager/index.php

ixwebhosting.com offers windows hosting

What do you think is causing this?

Answer 1

Check the box that says 'Directory browsing'

Click okay (and possibly?) restart IIS.

Answer 2
