Getting Access Forbidden in IIS - permission-denied

I Have hosted a website in IIS 7.5.Which was working fine till yesterday.But suddenly today am not able to access any of its pages and am getting following error.
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
Googled a lot but could not find any resolutions.Any Comments will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Have you checked to see if anything has changed for the user IIS_IUSRS?
Check what type of security you have in place. Was it anonymous before and needs some type of windows integration?

IIS error 403 not logged and showing unknown error page

When I try to access a page on my IIS web I get an error 403. The error is not logged to the log file and the error page shown is not the one that's defined in the config.
That's the content of the error page:
<html><head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head><body>Access denied</body>
Can anyone help me to find this error page and get the error logged?
The 403 Forbidden error is an HTTP status code that means that accessing the page or directory you were trying to reach is absolutely forbidden for some reason.
To resolve this issue, you need to enable directory browsing for your application. To enable directory browsing on IIS, check out the steps from this Microsoft document.
If you still can’t solve the problem, you can use failed request tracking to view detailed error information.

Joomla Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

From administrator panel I can't find my plugin css or js file. In console log it's showing :
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403
(Forbidden)
Now when I access this file from console login the browser showing me following message :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /plugins/system/helix3/assets/css/bootstrap.css on this server.
Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Can you guys tell me how can I solve this problem. For this error my plugin is not correctly displaying :(
Thank You.
There is little information you give about your problem, but I will try to help you the same. I had a similar problem and with some research I was able to figure out what my problem was.
First check if file exist /plugins/system/helix3/assets/css/bootstrap.css
Second check the access permissions of your /plugins/system/helix3/assets/css/bootstrap.css in joomla and in the folder permission.
Third check if the css you are using does not need anything else to work. Example in mine was a problem with a plugin for firefox.
Sorry for my English but this is not my native language.

Host file doesn't work

I have an entry in hosts file with a test domain for a local site and when I ping, it only works with www.domain.dev and when I bind it to a web application (that same application works on Cassini server) in IIS and try to run in browser, it won't work either, and I get:
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
So many times before I was working with hosts file without any issues.
I am out of the clues as what might be the problem.
Maybe I am missing something, but I can't see it.
Thanks!
Yep, this one tripped me up for a few hours one day too. This is what I did to resolve it (Method 1):

Access denied on 1&1 server

I am having a problem with hosting a website on a 1&1 server (Bought package is SmartWeb M). I uploaded everything to the public_html folder (before you ask - yes, index.html is located in the document root and not one of the subfolders). When I then try to call the page in a browser I get the following error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Since I couldn't find any .htaccess on forehand I created one in hope that that would fix it - nothing.
I have been waiting for an answer from the 1&1 help desk in more than 3 days now and I am moderately angry at their service.
Could anyone help me with this?
Thanks!
It turns out, that my files did have the wrong permissions. Make sure to get them to -755!

Server - Windows 2K8/IIS7/ColdFusion throwing intermittent 403 errors

We've just set up a new dedicated server at hostgator, running Windows 2008 Server, IIS7 and ColdFusion 8 ENT.
On browsing the homepage, sometimes the site works, sometimes, part of the site runs and I can see a 403 error in Firebug. At other times, I only get an IIS error page saying:
"403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
The site is http://www.asia-buy.com. It might run first time, but if you refresh it a few times, you'll probably encounter the problem.
There is a lot of ajax and JSON stuff going on under the hood and I'm wondering if that has any bearing on the problem.
Would appreciate advice from anyone who may have solved a similar issue in the past.
Resolved: Hostgator says this is actually a security setting in IIS to attempt to prevent DDOS attacks on the website. A a developer, I use CTRL-F5 a lot. A normal user would not.
Full error:
HTTP Error 403.502 - Forbidden
The IP address from which you are browsing is not permitted to access the requested Web site because it has made too many requests over short period of time.
Open IIS Manager.
Go to your website.
Go to Features/IP Address and Domain Restrictions/Dynamic IP Restriction Settings
Uncheck the boxes, or change the values, as needed
