Hello,I want to install the Quickstart of the HOST template so I can use it as an example. But I get '403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.' when I try to access the website. What I have done:

Use Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB as bas
I enabled the IIS feature
I download MYSQL 5.5 and cretes a new database (Intranet)
I copied the QUICKSTART folder the WWWROOT
When I access to IP address of the new server I got the standard ISS welcome screen
I deleted iisstart.hml and png
Now I get Access denied
I tried to remove the READ ONLY attribute to no-avail
Do you have a suggestion?

T.I.A.

Hi,
just a suggestion: Try to set the Base-URL in the .htaccess-File.
I think standard ist commented out by a hash!

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your suggestion, but I am not all that familiar with HTACCESS. What I DID try is add a bindeng to INTRANET, added INTRANET to m,y HIOST file and than trie to open INTRANET, Again '403: Access is denied'

Hi Kees,
sorry I can't help.
I think searching for the exact error message + Joomla,will bring more informations.
Try: forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=830632 There are some post depending on your issue.

I could not find a link that helped

In te meantime I created a new site but that didn't help either.

Assuming it was access related, I granted full right ti EVERYONS, but to no avail.

So I am still in need of some help.
