newbie: problem with IIS on windows server 2003

Hey

I'm having trouble setting up my asp.net application on my IIS on my server
(windows server 2003) : I get this error:


Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its
dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is
temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that
it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /testing/Default.aspx

http 404 file not found

***********************************

So to narrow the problem I'm trying to view the iisstart.htm on the server
but then I get the HTTP 404 File Not Found....

This is the URL I tryed on the server: http://localhost/iisstart.htm -> HTTP
404 File Not Found
the file exist in the root of the wwwroot folder, I've just viewed it in
notepad...

Any suggestions to this problem?

Unless you've changed any of the default settings, including security
settings, this should just show up. The default filename is actually
iisstart.asp, not .htm. Otherwise, make sure under the website properties,
that is is 1) running, and 2) that iisstart.htm or iisstart.asp (whichever
you are using) is listed under the Documents tab and moved to the top of the
list.

If this doesn't help, please provide more specific info, such as what was
changed, altered, what exactly are you developing (you mentioned asp.net),
if you registered the app, etc. If it's a development issue, I would suggest
to post to the microsoft.public.inetserver.iis newsgroup, maybe even the
microsoft.public.dotnet.general or the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework
newsgroup. (There are numerous dotnet groups I've found, so not sure which
one would appply for your app).

I hope that helps.

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
