How do I set the default page of my application in IIS7?

Question

I deployed my web application to IIS7 and everything works just fine. However, instead of typing the url of my true starting page, I want it to automatically go to www.xxxxxx.com/views/root/default.aspx.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

Just go to web.config file and add following

<system.webServer>     <defaultDocument>       <files>         <clear />         <add value="Path of your Page" />       </files>     </defaultDocument> </system.webServer> 

Answer 2

1. On IIS Manager select your page in the Sites tree.
2. Double click on configuration editor.
3. Select system.webServer/defaultDocument in the drop-down.
4. Change the "default.aspx" to the name of your document.

Karan has posted the answer but that didn't work for me. So, I am posting what worked for me. If that didn't work then user can try this

<configuration> 
    <system.webServer> 
        <defaultDocument enabled="true"> 
            <files> 
                <add value="myFile.aspx" /> 
            </files> 
        </defaultDocument> 
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
