I am having trouble getting my ASP.NET application to start an application. For example when I type: http://my.domain.com/virtualdir or

http://my.domain.com/virtualdir/default.aspx

My application will start but I cannot get ASP.NET to start when I type http://my.domain.com.

I have tried to set the default document to default.aspx with no luck. I am sure there is something obvious I a missing here.

  1. If you have a an application in a directory (application) called virtualdirectory, then the URL of your application is http://my.domain.com/virtualdirectory/.

    However, if you want to use http://my.domain.com/ as your start URL you need to

    Method 1

    Move everything from C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\virtualdirectory to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\

    I’ld only recommend this course of action if this is the only application you have, or if this is the core application.

    Method 2

    OR you could try changing the home / root direcory

    Method 3

    OR you could create a file called c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default.aspx

    and stick this in

    <%@ Page Language='C#' AutoEventWireup='true' CodeBehind='WebForm2.aspx.cs' Inherits='Portal.App.WebForm2' %>  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'> <script runat='server'> protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Server.Transfer('virtualdirectory/default.aspx');  // or  // Response.Redirect('http://my.domain.com/virtualdirectory/default.aspx'); } </script> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' > <head runat='server'> <title>Untitled Page</title> </head> <body> <form id='form1' runat='server'> <div>  </div> </form> </body> </html>
