Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
I would like to use my Windows XP Pro PC to develop an ASP website to
replace an existing HTML website. I have IIS 5.1 installed. I can start IIS
and localstart.asp loads, telling me that the server has started and I can
now add files to wwwroot. I have Default.asp at the top of the documents
list. When I add Default.asp to wwwroot and type the URL in Internet
Explorer, the page changes back to localstart.asp. I've tried renaming
localstart.asp and and iisstart.asp, but Default.asp won't load. I've spent
several hours reading the Microsoft documentation, but to no avail. How can
I get Default.asp to load instead of localstart.asp?

Thanks much,
Bernie Kornowicz

simple test. move out all default script - localstart.asp and etc,
copy your default page, configure the default document properties,
try browse <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost/" target="_blank">http://localhost/</a> again, does it shows up your desire page ?

Hi Bernard,

Thanks for the reply.

I copied all the files in wwwroot to a backup directory, then copied in
Default.asp. I configured the document properties and Default.asp is at the
top of the Documents list. Now when I type <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost" target="_blank">http://localhost</a> in the URL, the
browser still tries to load localstart.asp instead of Default.asp, but I get
a page not found error. Is there a setting in IIS that overrides the default
loading of localstart.asp?

Bernie
