Hi,

You have a designated default or index page in the IIS folder?

Please indicate the exact name of the IIS folder and the format of the
default or index page?
Thanks a million

Where your IIS folder is located is up to you. It will be the home directory
path in IIS properties. For it to work correctly, there must be an index or
default page (file extension of your choice) in the home directory.
