index / default ? - 5/2/2003 0:29:19
Howdy all...
When I go to " localhost" in IIS 5 I' m taken to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/default.asp
But if I try to go to any webs within that folder... like C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/website/ I get an error that says the contents can' t be listed...
Is this because I don' t have index.asp set up as a default start page for a web? Just curious... I' m playing [:p]
I' m wondering how to make it so that if I click to the web folder in IE I see the index.asp page...
Otherwise I have to physically type /index.asp to get to the home page of the web...
Thanks!
(If anyone is curious, I' m playing with the " localhost" start page... setting it up to automatically list and link to my development webs, as well as Internet sites. The plan is to make it the start page every time I open a browser...
The problem I' m running into is that some of my home pages are index.htm, some are index.asp, one is default.asp... I can program the page to check and see if any of those exist and link to them if they do, but it would be a lot easier to just point to the web folder and click to it...)

If I' m correct the server has to be told which file names can be used as the " default" or " home" page for a directory. Most also have an " order of precedence." For example, if you have both an index.html file and a default.html file, the index.html file will be the one that shows up when viewing your site with the domain name or IP address.
I came across the same problem as you. The server only accepted default.htm, so our IS dept. had to tell it to accept index.asp, index.htm, etc.
As for how to configure it, I don' t know how. I' m sorry. You probably already knew what I told you so I probably just wasted your time. [:p]

You can have your start page for a website whatever you like. But in order to be bale to not have to type it in you would:
(This example is for the site but will work fro folders as well)
In IIS, right click the site > properties
Documents tab
Add button
type in the name of the start page (index. htm, default.html, howdy.asp, I think you get it.)
then OK your way out.
you' ll notice you can also adjust the search precedence and remove what you don' t use.
