Stupid IISv6 problem

[exodus454]

I just installed Server 2k3 and I'm trying to get my website back up that I had running in XP Pro with IISv5.x..

But it seems I'm having a stupid problem here, and google returned no answer.

My default page is set to index.htm, and named index.htm in the root directory (C:\inetpub\wwwroot). If I go to http://www.othersidephotography.net/ I get an "under construction" error page, saying that the default hasn't been set. So then I try going to http://www.othersidephotography.net/index.htm and it works.

Any ideas why it wont set my default page?? I've been at this for over 2 hours now and I'm totally stumped. Could it have something to do with the fact that I'm using port 8000 instead of 80?


And by the by - not sure if this was the right forum for this, feel free to move it to software or other if necessary

Double-check your "Documents" tab on your Default Web Site Properties in the IIS Administration control panel.

Be sure that "index.htm" is at the top of the list for Default Document. Otherwise, it'll probably be Default.xxx, which may result in an "Under Construction" page that comes with IIS.

It is at the top of the list, and its the only thing in the list. That's why I'm so stumped.

Looks like it's working now; were you able to figure out what the problem is?
