Q142854: Err Msg: "HTTP/1.0 501 Not Supported" on ODBC Query

SYMPTOMS
========

When you execute a script, the World Wide Web (WWW) client receives the error:

  HTTP/1.0 501 Not Supported or HTTP/1.0 403 Access Forbidden

When attached to the same WWW server locally with a WWW client, the error does
not occur.

CAUSE
=====

Read and execute access is not set for the directory containing the script or
IDC file that is being requested by the Web page. Executing the script from the
WWW server itself may not cause the error to appear since the user account used
to log on to the server may have administrator rights.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem:

1. Open the Internet Server Manager, and bring up the properties of your WWW
  service.

2. Choose the Directories tab, then double-click your scripts directory.

3. Under the access section make sure Read and Execute are selected.

4. Check the security permissions on the directory in File Manager to verify
  that at least read and execute permissions are set on the files and the
  directory.
