How to make a particular page to appear by default

Hi,
I have an ASP page whose location is "http://localhost/MatricsReloaded/adminindex.asp"...
I would like to just type "http://localhost/" or "http://localhost/MatricsReloaded" which
should take me to the "adminindex.asp".... how can i make this ??... is
there any configuration file available for that ??


THanks

 

Given it is a local host then it is just a config change in IIS to set the defaults.

 

IIS is typically looking for a default.asp page and you can modify this in IIS but if you are going to host this on a shared server where you don't have IIS control you could create a page called default.asp that on pageload response redirects to your /MatricsReloaded/adminindex.asp page. VB Code to redirect would be something like:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Redirect("/MatricsReloaded/adminindex.asp")

End Sub

 

set IIS for default documents
(default is default.asp)

so you can make your file name is default.asp, then ok

 

I second that last one - why don't you just name your page "http://localhost/MatricsReloaded/default.asp"
where "default.asp" is your "adminindex.asp" page?

 

Step one: Open IIS
Step two: Open Default Website properties
Step three: Add "adminindex.asp" to the list of default documents
Step four: Press ok, save changes, and presto. It works

 

IIS (I rather this...)
or
<%server.transfer ("URL")%>
