Q: I have set the default document search for a virtual web to be "default.asp" in IIS 4.0; however, when I delete the default.htm file for the web's root directory, I get the error: Directory listing not allowed. If I put back in the default.htm file, it comes up fine. If I leave it in and tell IIS to look for a default document of "default.asp", THEN "default.htm", it still finds the "default.htm" file first! It seems REALLY buggy. What is the problem? A: You need to set the security rights to allow the asp file to execute as a script. This can be set in the IIS Administrator on the properties page of the web. - Christopher Kotran |
