You try to access the content of a web site via directory browsing. It's forbidden (mostly by default) for the site.
Possibly you have no default page declared on the side (no pages at all?).
You can also resolve it by adding a page name to the url - http://localhost/default.aspx...

It's a possible solution, however I would not advise to publish any web site with Directory Browsing enabled.
If you want to show content of directories, better use some page with proper control on it...
