IIS Queston - Creating a New Site

[ccrookston]

I'm creating a new site on Windows Server 2003. In IIS, I added the site and mapped it to the correct folder. In the site properties document tab, I have default.aspx set as the start page.

But, when I pull up the site: localhost.newsite.com, I'm told:

Under Construction - The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured.

When I try localhost.newsite.com/default.asp it gives me a basic Page Not Found error.

What gives? The file IS there, the site is mapped to the correct folder, and default.aspx is set to the first start file. What else do I need to do?

Thanks!

Please don't cross post.

Okay. Sorry. I wasn't sure which to post to - so I thought both would be better.

Any ideas on why IIS is behaving this way?

Thanks!The message you're seeing is from the iisstart.asp page and is displayed when IIS can't find your default page. Reading your post, it appears that you are lookign for two different files default.aspx and default.asp might want to make sure you're using the correct extension everywhere.
