Publishing Web Renames Default Document Incorrectly (202729)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q202729 SYMPTOMS
When you publish a Web, which has a default document named (for example
Index.htm) to a virtual server, and the default document is set to
Index.htm, the default document is renamed to Default.htm.
Default.htm is not specified as one of the default documents in the
virtual server's properties in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
CAUSE
The FrontPage Server Extensions only use the documents set in the master
properties for IIS FrontPage and only recognizes the first default
document in the list for any Web server capable of using multiple default
documents.
RESOLUTION
Set the default document in the master properties for IIS; to do this, do
the following: - Click Start and point to Programs.
- Point to Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack.
- Point to Microsoft Internet Information Server.
- Click Internet Service Manager.
- Click the plus sign (+) next to Internet Information
Server.
- Right-click the server name and click Properties.
- Click the Edit button for the WWW Service.
- On the Documents tab, add the document name you want to
use.
- Click OK three times.
In order to make FrontPage aware of the change, you must stop and restart
the Web server. This can be done quickly from the command line by doing
the following: - Click Start and click Run.
- Type CMD in the open box.
- Type the following at the command prompt:
net stop iisadmin /y
net start w3svc
net start msftpsvc
net start smtpsvc
Note: If you are not using the Microsoft FTP Server or the SMTP
Service, you do not need to restart them.
