New Guy ASP Question

index.aspx

[madcat]

I'm sure quite easy.

If index.aspx is in my root folder (named 'NEW'), and I go to [thesiteexample.com...] - of course it won't recognize a page like index.html.

Why? What can I do besides a redirect to make it recognize index.aspx. I get a Directory Listing Denied message...

"This Virtual Directgory does not allow contents to be listed"

Thanks for your help.

In IIS, right click your website and choose Properties.

In the Documents tab, make sure "Enable Default Document" is checked, and add any new page names you would like to assign as a default page.

Cool, thank you...

I don't have control of the server, is there a way I could do it on my end? If not, I'll just get with them...

Best practice would be to ask your hosting provider. Doing redirects would be sloppy and a pain to maintain.

Have you tried renaming the file to default.aspx?
