SYMPTOMS
If you have configured a default document for a directory, when you locate the directory in the browser (for example, http://localhost/test), you receive the following error message:

The page cannot be displayed

If you type the page name as a URL in the browser address bar, however, you can see the page.



CAUSE
You do not have proper permissions set for the directory.



RESOLUTION

 * 1) Right-click the directory, and then click Properties.
 * 2) Click the Directory tab (if the directory is a regular directory) or the Virtual Directory tab (if the directory is a virtual directory).
 * 3) Click to select Read permissions, and then set Execute Permissions to Scripts Only.
 * 4) Click OK.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
