IIS default page

Guest

In IIS manager the default page is defined as index.htm
But when I access the IIS webserver the default page which i created
index.htm is not displayed when
I access the webserver with http://ip_of_webserver/ I get only a blank page.
to access my index.htm I need to run htttp://ip_of_webserver/index.htm to
get my webpage.
What is wrong ?
remark:the only default page I defined is index.htm in my website Default
Documents, but still it does not show this default page.

Hi Rick,

I tried http://127.0.0.1,.....http://localhost.....and on other Pc in my
network..
http://ip_network_pc
No success I get an empty white page, if I look at the source of the page it
shows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1251"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

I tried...default.htm as the only default page in my website Default no
success, blank page I get my page only by http://ip_address/index.htm or
http://ip_address/default.htm

regards
Jac

Rick,
One remark : and of course Default Document is enabled.

Another strange thing:

I disable Default Document
I enable Directory browsing
Restart the webserver
Still I get a blank white page instead of a directory listing

I didn't see the original post for this, so please forgive me if I'm
responding way off base. Also, I am not sure if IIS and Apache are
different on these issues, and I'm more familiar with *nix servers...

When you have an "index" file (default.htm(l)-index.htm(l)-etc) in the
directory that you are "listing" then you will get that page no matter what
you do to try to access the directory listing. So if you have any of those
pages in that directory, remove them.

If you are seeing the blank page, at least your web server is working. lol
Are you sure you have the default.htm(l) in the correct directory?

Like I said, I didn't see the original post, so I might be responding to a
completely different issue than what I think I am.

If you are getting that blank white page, you are going SOMEWHERE and
loading a blank white page. So my question would be: Do you have the
system set up for the proper directory?

Raven,
Yes the directory is ok, because if I goto http:/ip_webserver/index.htm
my page is displayed properly.
Also in the properties of my website show all my webfiles in that directory
