Error27:
A link was provided in the site that had “/_layouts/…../…..” in the URL. So it was pointing to something under “_layouts” directory. Users received IE errors saying: “the Website declined to show this web page…….the website requires you to log in.”
Fix:
It was usually suggested over the web that it was a problem with directory browsing which might not be enabled at IIS level for the website. And that was actually the case, we were trying to view some directories under “/_layouts/….”. I tried everything…..enabled disabled directory browsing, double checked directory permissions but nothing worked. At last made the user site collection administrator and it worked.
Not a great solution I know but it served the purpose for me, for more information here is a nice post:

Hope this helps…….
