Default Home Page

[IbisOnline]

I just published my site to the FTP Server using Expression Web 4.0. I did not specifiy a directory. Everything published and when I opened the site in a browser using my temp URL I saw the DASP .net default index page as expected. Following directions I went back to Expression Web which was now conected to the FTP server and deleted the index.htm file. I have a home page that is the root of my site directory. However, when I ues just the temp url withour specifying the /home.aspx I get the site directory list. I don't know if that is normal or if I have someting wrong. I want to be able to type in my web address and go to my home page. How do I replace the index page with my home page or do I need to do that?

I may have answered my own question, or at least I found it in another post. I went to IIS Manager and in Default Documents I set the top default document to Home.aspx. Now the Temp URL goes to my Home Page. Right answer? or trouble waiting down the road?

Yes, you found the right solution. Home.aspx is rarely used as a default page, and by default it is not included in default documents in IIS.
