Portal home page does not display without default.aspx

Asked By: Gino Burris Date: Jan 07, 2009 Category: MOSS Views: 469

My colleague recently setup a MOSS 2007 server. The sever seems OK except a few
problems:

When the URL is the full https://localhostname.domain/default.aspx, the portal
home page shows up fine. However, when default.aspx is obmitted from the URL,
i.e., https://localhostname.domain, then the page is not found. I checked the
IIS Manager and verified that all web sites defined have their â€œEnable default
content pageâ€ checked with â€œdefault.aspxâ€ as one of the items, under
Documents tab of Web Site Properties. I thought this is sufficient to make any
directory only URL turn into default.aspx page. But it does not work here. Any
idea what is missing?

Verify you have an "Alternate Access Mapping" configured for
http://localhostname.domain.
