Hello guys!

I want to make as the start page of my site a .asp page. By default the page
appearing if someone types www.mydomain.com is index.htm. How can I make
this page to be index.asp?

Thanks!

In IIS, you can configure the default document(s) and place whichever you
want first. If you look at the first screen shot at http://aspfaq.com/2124
you'll see the dialog where you can change the order in which IIS should
search for default documents.

Of course, if you don't have access to the IIS admin pages, you could always
upload an index.htm file that simply has this:

<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=default.asp'>

The page should be called "default.asp" in order for it to load
automatically like index.htm.

not really.
It can be called anything, just need to specify it in IIS as the default
name.

That depends... if someone modified IIS and default.asp is no longer in the
list, or if it's farther down the list than index.htm, it will never load...

Hello again!

Problem solved! I used the default.asp as a default page, and everything
worked fine.

Thanks!
