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?

Right click on the virtual directory (gear icon) in IIS snapin, click Properties.

Check the box that says 'Directory browsing'

Click okay (and possibly?) restart IIS.

Also, under document tab check the box 'Enable default content page' and make sure index.php is in the list. – Anthony Fiumara Aug 24 '11 at 14:49
Are you referring to ixwebhosting.com's CMS? – Trip Aug 24 '11 at 14:51
