Hi,

 It looks like my DNN default.aspx page loads even if I have default document set to index.html in IIS7.5

What I am trying to achieve is to have a splash page (index.html) and then have a link to the DNN site from there.

Every time I go to http://www.site.com it always goes to http://www.site.com/default.aspx.

In IIS 7.5 I have the index.html as the default document. 

I want http://www.site.com to go to http://www.site.com/index.html first

For some reason I cannot change this no matter what I do.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m using DNN 7.03.04

Windows Server 2008 R2

Any request DNN processes ultimately goes to default.aspx -i havent tested it but i suspect that you can configure the url rewriter to ignore requests for index.html (http://dnnurlmanagement.codeplex.com/ will help configure this)

if you want to be index.html handled by IIS, please make sure in IIS configuration, it is listed above default.aspx.

Thanks for the replies.  I think I am going to try with the URL rewriter.  

I triesdthe IIS 7 Default Document and it does not work.  I had index.html above it, below it.  I removed default.aspx all together and it still went to default.aspx.  It is like it ignores it and always launches the DNN default,.aspx[page.  I  started and stopped the IIS services, etc... and still no change.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to the previous reply I am convinced it has something to do with URL redirecting.  

Every time I go to root website:  Ex.  Site.com 

It automatically goes to default.aspx.

In IIS7 I have the default document set to index.html.    (Both files are in the root of the website)

After doing more research I discovered that the web.config totally overrides any IIS 7 setting and therefore totally ignores the default document feature in IIS.  Since the web.config has URL rewriting info I tghink this is the culprit.

Does anyone know how I can change this? 

I loaded the X3.DnnUrlManagement.Portal but am not sure how to use it. 

Can someone help me make sure the web.config does not ignore index.htm using X3 or another way?

Thanks !!
