I am running IIS 5.0 and trying to access a website that
I maintain. When I try to open the web I get the generic

>> The folder 'http://www.blahblah.com/' isn't

I have used the security wizard inside of IIS on the main
web, which is the one I am trying to open, with no luck.
I have looked at security on the web itself and
Administrators have permission for everything but logging
on as them no luck. I can open the site on the server by
going to c:\inetpub\wwwroot, but cannot by going to the
actual site. I have even removed the frontpage extensions
and then reloaded them. Any ideas I am clueless. Let me
know if I can give any other details. Thanks for any help.

First go to Internet Explorer.
Click Tools >> Options
Click Tab Advanced
Make sure "Show friendly HTTP error messages" is disabled.

Try hitting the site again and post the error that you get.

hope this helps,
