Directory Listing

Has anyone come across this before?

I have my web page ‘index.html’ inside a folder and when I try to browser I get an error message:

http://www.genetix.com/GTXtra

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

But when I type the full url it works ok. http://www.genetix.com/GTXtra/index.html

Not sure why this is as there are other pages that have worked OK - would it be the file extension?

This error message suggests to me that you are on a Windows IIS
server, as only IIS calls this a “virtual directory”. Try changing
your index page filename to default.htm or index.htm and see if it
works then.
