System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden.

I found a web service failing with this error on the prod box.

I found following is the issue that caused this
Execute permission on the virtual directory of the service is set to none, where it should be set to 'ScriptsOnly'.
I set this back to 'ScriptsOnly' and the service started working
I do not need to do an iisreset
