I tried to rearrange the document order and its now default.asp, default. htm
and still have to same error, even if i try localhost/deault.asp i still get
the error
"Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the
processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail
information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance."
is there supposed to be a default.asp and default.htm file listed in the
wwwroot folder? because ther is nothing listed and i just did a clean install
of the IIS server
I dont know what else to try since it shows that all my server services are
up and running
