Publishing Both Default.asp and Default.htm Within Internet Information Server (IIS)
This article was previously published under Q161068
We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) defines a default publication
document in the IIS Server Manager under the Directories tab. This
document is defined as Default.htm on an initial installation of IIS. This
default publication document is defined globally for all the IIS
publication directories. When a remote user does not specify a particular
file, the default document in that publication directory is displayed.
When Active Server Pages (ASP) is installed, you may want to have some
additional publication directories that are defined as a Default.asp file.
However, you will need a Default.htm file to redirect the browser to the
Default.asp file.
A webmaster could include a Default.htm file to redirect the refresh of
the client browser to the Default.asp page included in the ASP publication
directory.
For example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=default.asp">
</HEAD>
</HTML>
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 3.0
- Microsoft Active Server Pages 1.0

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
