This article was previously published under Q164274



SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), version 3.0, allows you to specify multiple file names for the default home page. For example, you can configure your server to send these files to the Web browser when it accesses your site but does not request a specific page:

Index.htm

Index.html

Default.htm

This feature of IIS causes FrontPage to incorrectly name the default page when you create a new web using a template or if you use the Publish FrontPage Web command on the File menu in FrontPage Explorer. For example, when FrontPage creates the page on an IIS server configured to recognize the file names listed above, it names the home page as:

index.htm,index.html,default.htm



CAUSE
FrontPage does not support this feature of IIS, which was added to IIS version 3.0. IIS was released after FrontPage was released.



RESOLUTION
Open the Web that contains the incorrectly named default page and rename the page.
