Startup page setting

[Danyal Haider]

I want to set my custom startup page. I made changes in web config file but still it's not working. Below line i added in my webconfig file.
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<defaultDocument enabled="true">
<files>
<add value="example.html"></add> </files>
</defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Currently when open my web application in browser they show me that page that are alphabetically on the top of my web pages.

What's wrong with my code? any idea? Waiting for your feedback

Why you can't do it through IIS Manager?

 

[Danyal Haider]

[IgorG]

Websites & Domains -> IIS Settings:

 

[Danyal Haider]

should i remove previous names or added my page name in list. Page name that i want to show startup is Home.aspx

 

[IgorG]

Just add it at the top of this list and check results.

 

[Danyal Haider]

I added my page name home.aspx at the top of the list. but it's not giving my desire output. any other changes required in this portion like MIME types

What is output now when you go to http://your_domain.com or http://your_domain.com/home.aspx?

 

[Danyal Haider]

http://your_domain.com

 

[IgorG]

this is my output
http://your_domain.com

Mmm? Where?

 

[Danyal Haider]

Still not shown my desire page. displying me that page that are alphabetically on the top of my web pages

Can you post screenshot here when you open your desired page http://your_domain.com/home.aspx ?
Note, your_domain.com is just a sample, write your real domain name here.

my url is still not configured on plesk site. Currently i am using my IP to open my application. I posted my question related configuration but still waiting for your feedback. Please assist me also in this issue how i configure my domain.
anyway my IP is http://166.62.82.5/.

 

[IgorG]

As far as I see http://166.62.82.5/home.aspx works fine.
I have tried to reproduce this issue and added home.aspx as I wrote above for my test site. Now when I go to http://mysite.com I see this home.aspx page. So, it works fine for me.
For the further investigation of this issue, I suggest you check Default Document setting for your site directly in IIS Manager. This article should help you with it - http://www.iis.net/learn/web-hosting/web-server-for-shared-hosting/default-documents

 

[Danyal Haider]

No it's not work fine it show me Acceptable Use Policy page instead of Home. I manually click on home button to jump.

 

[Danyal Haider]

Can you post screenshot here when you open your desired page http://your_domain.com/home.aspx ?
Note, your_domain.com is just a sample, write your real domain name here.

 

[IgorG]

Sorry, but it is screenshot of your Plesk interface but not what I asked you to show...

 

[Danyal Haider]

image 1.png open when i type my IP in url bar. but when i click on my home button from menu bar then i can see my desire page.

Actually image 2.png is my desire image that i want to show as my startup page. Now hopefully provided material may be helpful for you to answer. Waiting for your reply
