Hey all.... so I created a splash page as a 'Under Construction' page for a site I am doing. I couldn't get the DNN install (4.9.2) to hit the index.html page unless I renamed the 'default.aspx' file. Once I did that the index.html page came right up.

Now I would like to be able to log into DNN so I can make the changes needed, how do I achive this since I had to rename the default.aspx file. I know there is a way, I just can't find my notes on it.

Thanks

gotcha, thanks for your help... worked like a champ!

 app_offline disables the web site, there is no option to get into your portal, as long as it is in place. your initial attempt with index.html would allow this, you need to make sure, index.html is placed first in the default documents order in IIS Web Site configuration.
