From: Chuck on 23 Jul 2010 17:28 Can I set a default webpage for a subdirectory within a website. In a subdirectory I tried using <system.webServer> <defaultDocument> <files> <add value="Diagnostics.aspx" /> </files> </defaultDocument> </system.webServer> This didn't work in the subdirectory. vs2010 iis7
From: Jerry Weng on 25 Jul 2010 22:57 Hello Chuck, Thank you for posting. From your post, my understanding on this issue is: the defaultDocument setting in IIS did not work for subdirectory. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know. Yes, we can add a default document in the subdirectory. By default, default documents are enabled, and IIS 7 defines the following default document files in the ApplicationHost.config file as server-wide defaults: Default.htm Default.asp Index.htm Index.html Iisstart.htm By default, when a request arrives for our site's or application's root directory, IIS attempts to return the correct files in the order that they appear in the <defaultDocument> element. If the Default.htm file exists, IIS sends it to the client browser. If the Default.htm file does not exist, IIS attempts to send the Default.asp file to the browser. IIS continues in this manner until it attempts to send each default document file to the client browser. If we add a web.config in the subdirectory and configure the default document like what you did, the list of the default documents in that subdirectory will be like this: Diagnostics.aspx Default.htm Default.asp Index.htm Index.html Iisstart.htm So I think it should work for the subdirectory. And I tested it with my IIS, it proved to work fine. For your issue, maybe you can try to add a <clear /> in the <defaultDocument> schema to clear the default settings in the parent configuration file. <system.webServer> <defaultDocument> <files> <clear /> <add value="Diagnostics.aspx" /> </files> </defaultDocument> </system.webServer> If this could not make a workaround, please tell me more about the issue? Which page did you see after you set the default doucment in the subdirectory? Or you saw an error page? Here is a reference document: Default Document <defaultDocument> http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/defaultDocument Please let me know the information above so that I can provider further assistance on this problem. I am looking forward to your reply. -- Sincerely, Jerry Weng Microsoft Online Community Support ================================================== Get notification to my posts through email?

Seems to work now. Maybe the default document option wasn't enabled in IIS. thanks, "Jerry Weng" wrote: > Hello Chuck, > Did you get to end of this issue? > Please feel free to reply me if you want to get more help for this problem. > --- > Sincerely, > Jerry Weng > Microsoft Online Community Support > > -------------------- > | X-Tomcat-ID: 1219927 > | References: <601DB216-D150-44AB-8203-2840F22F38AA(a)microsoft.com> > | MIME-Version: 1.0 > | Content-Type: text/plain > | Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > | From: v-jewen(a)microsoft.com (Jerry Weng) > | Organization: Microsoft > | Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:57:17 GMT > | Subject: RE: default webpage with iis7 and web.config > | X-Tomcat-NG: microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet > | Message-ID: <Eoj1M5GLLHA.2364(a)TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl> > | Newsgroups: microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet > | Lines: 105 > | Path: TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl > | Xref: TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet:1618 > | NNTP-Posting-Host: tk2tomimport1.phx.gbl 10.230.18.247 > | > | Hello Chuck, > | Thank you for posting. > | From your post, my understanding on this issue is: the defaultDocument > | setting in IIS did not work for subdirectory.
