 * Hello –
 * I have installed WordPress Multisite on sub directory, I can access the dashboard
   of main and sub directory site but I get 403 Forbidden error when I try to access
   sub directory:
 * [http://website.com/subdirectory/](http://website.com/subdirectory/) doesn’t 
   work
 * However, below page is accessible of the same sub directory.
    [http://website.com/subdirectory/sample-page](http://website.com/subdirectory/sample-page)
 * Any idea what is up. I’m running wordpress on windows iis.
