I installed IIS 10 through windows features and published MVC app into the IIS folder, then executed "dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45" command but still getting error:

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory

I've done this in windows 7 with "aspnet_regiis -I" command instead of "dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45" and web app loaded just fine from localhost, but I can't seem to get this to work on Windows 10.

  • Did you get anywhere with this? I'm having the same troubles even after running the `dism` commands ... – Jammer Sep 22 '15 at 11:45

    I solved my problem by using the Win10 GUI for selecting installed features. Internet Information Services->World Wide Web Service->Application Development Features->ASP.NET 4.6 was not checked. Checked that along with a few others I needed and all was good. – Mark H Feb 15 '16 at 18:24

I had the same problem and I solved it by using the Win10 GUI for selecting installed features. Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Service -> Application Development Features->ASP.NET 4.6 was not checked. Checked that along with a few others I needed and all was good.

I had similar problem - in my case IIS just have not full rights to access folder where I put website files...

Giving full access to directory via Windows Properties/Security resolved problem in my case.

Try put your website files to C:\inetpub - form my experience it's the best location (but should make no difference).

Other things: - check if IIs have rights to C:\inetpub & ..\Documents\IISExpress - check if you have installed right version od .NET and ASP.NET

I see that you try install ASP.NET 4.5, but what targeting your project?

If you trying deploy new project you probably need APS.NET 4.6 or ASP.NET 5 RC (in second case you need also setup DNX).
