Hi
I have a Windows Server 2003 with sharepoint service installed and running
perfectly. I enter the sharepoint web site simply by typing http://myserver
and then the page http://myserver/default.aspx is opened in IE. I assume it
is just like ordinary web site where default.aspx is located in the base
directory of the default web site. However, when I open IIS Manager, I
found that the base directory only contains 3 files (iisstart.htm,
pagerror.gif and web.config). I cannot figure out why the default.aspx is
opened when I simply type http://myserver. Can you tell me how the trick is
done?
Thanks
Edwin

All Sharepoint files are stored in SQL , except for Excludes specified in
your Sharepoint configuration.

...and the files in the /_layouts directory.
Edwin, it may be part of the sharepoint ISAPI filter that sets the default
page to default.aspx. All "managed" paths (those controlled by sharepoint)
are run through this assembly which retrieves the contents of the pages from
SQL and then sends them down the pipe. This is a departure from the normal
model where the files are stored in the file system. Check out the SharePoint
SDK at http://msdn.microsoft.com/sharepoint you'll find plenty of articles
describing this architecture.

Not all sharepoint files are stored in sql. Only those stored in document
libraries, and unghosted pages (pages modified by frontpage) are stored
there
