IIS 6 Default Page Not Working

Question

I have a website on IIS 6 which is configured as a subdomain such as "subdomain.site.com".

"default.asp" is configured in IIS as the only default page on the Documents tab of the Web Site. The "Enable Default Content Page" checkbox is also checked.

When I attempt to browse to just "subdomain.site.com", I get a 404 error. However, when I go to "subdomain.site.com/default.asp", I get the page as requested. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Have you only just change the settings? If so you need to restart iis. Open cmd and type iisreset.

Hope this helps.
