We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/IIS.mspx



SYMPTOMS
When you execute a script, the World Wide Web (WWW) client receives the error:

HTTP/1.0 501 Not Supported or HTTP/1.0 403 Access Forbidden

When attached to the same WWW server locally with a WWW client, the error does not occur.



CAUSE
Read and execute access is not set for the directory containing the script or IDC file that is being requested by the Web page. Executing the script from the WWW server itself may not cause the error to appear since the user account used to log on to the server may have administrator rights.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) Open the Internet Server Manager, and bring up the properties of your WWW service.
 * 2) Choose the Directories tab, then double-click your scripts directory.
 * 3) Under the access section make sure Read and Execute are selected.
 * 4) Check the security permissions on the directory in File Manager to verify that at least read and execute permissions are set on the files and the directory.
