HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory

After finishing the John Papa course on Pluralsight- which is AWESOME by the way!!!)

I'm now creating my first SPA. I come from Desktop Application Developer background so excuse me if this question is newbie!

When I load the SPA instead of seeing the splash screen and then the main screen I'm getting this error message:

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.Most likely causes:

A default document is not configured for the requested URL, and directory browsing is not enabled on the server.

Can anyone help fix this?

2.Add the website by right clicking on "Default website" and choose "Add application".

3.Enter any name as alias type and the load that website in the physical path and click OK.

4.Then go to the Features View of that Loaded Website and double click on the "Directory Browsing".
