How do I change the default document on my Windows/IIS site?

You can change the default index file for your site defaulted to Windows/IIS by using a web.config file with the following code: <configuration> <system.webServer> <defaultDocument> <files> <clear /> <add value="index.html" /> </files> </defaultDocument> </system.webServer> </configuration> If you have Index.aspx in your content folder as well as Default.aspx, Index.aspx will load first unless you specify the default document which we currently have a kb for. The order in which document will load first is indicated below: iisstart.htm index.aspx index.asp index.html index.htm default.aspx default.asp default.html default.htm BACK TO KNOWLEDGE BASE TABLE OF CONTENTS CyberSite.net takes no responsibility whatsoever for any files, code, content, database back-ups that are not made and/or are not made/done correctly.
