Hi,
I got a test 2003 server where IIS services were enabled. However, this was
previously used as a terminal server. The IIS inetpub directory is not on C
drive but on M drive. Now I am trying to run a small asp page but it is not
running. I checked that Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Enabled. The
error message while I ran the asp page was the following:
The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page.
I will appreciate any help to resolve the problem. Thanks

That error message means you didn't specify a page name in the URL, and
there is no file in the directory that matches one of those listed as a
possible default page. eg. if you request http://localhost/ then IIS will
serve up the first page it finds from the default file list in it's config,
such as default.asp. Whatver folder you have your root pointed to doesn't
have a default.asp page, so you get that error because it doesn't know which
page to serve as the default page for the site.
