SYMPTOMS
When deploying to a Web server using the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW), you see the following error:

Unexpected error number 80042114 has occurred: The Web server you selected does not indicate support for the service provider you selected.



CAUSE
This error occurs for one or more of the following reasons:

 Make sure that the destination URL protocol matches the selected Web publishing protocol.

  Check your default document to see that it contains the  tag shown below and that it is the first line in your document:
