I am having trouble getting my ASP.NET application to start an application. For example when I type: http://my.domain.com/virtualdir or
http://my.domain.com/virtualdir/default.aspx
My application will start but I cannot get ASP.NET to start when I type http://my.domain.com.
I have tried to set the default document to default.aspx with no luck. I am sure there is something obvious I a missing here.
your virtualdir poinst to your web application, so until it is called it won't start. you can redirect http://my.domain.com to http://my.domain.com/virtualdir, so Default.aspx will be requested. But don't forget to set Default.aspx as a file can be served as homepage
If you have a an application in a directory (application) called virtualdirectory, then the URL of your application is http://my.domain.com/virtualdirectory/.
However, if you want to use http://my.domain.com/ as your start URL you need to
Move everything from C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\virtualdirectory to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\
I'ld only recommend this course of action if this is the only application you have, or if this is the core application.
OR you could try changing the home / root direcory
OR you could create a file called c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default.aspx
and stick this in
