Question

We have a few sites that are all controlled via one CMS, even though they have their own domain name. They are all hosted under the one account.

I want to set the default page to index.html on one of the domains via web.config

So for example, with abc.com i want it to default to abc.com/index.html but leaving the other domains as they are.

While I can set the default to index.html it seems to break the other sites, as they redirect back to this on every occasion.

Answer 1

Try to wrap redirect rule with location element and specify your domain in the path attribute.

UPDATE
I think it should be something like this:

<configuration>
...
<location path="http://abc.com">
  <system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
      <files>
        <clear />
        <add value="index.htm" />
      </files>
    </defaultDocument>
  </system.webServer>
</location>
...
</configuration>
