Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. In the left pane, expand the server node and then expand the "Sites" node and select your website. In the right-hand Actions pane, click on "Default Document." In the "Default Document" page, click "Add" on the right-hand side. Type the name of your default document (e.g., "Default.aspx") in the "Name" field and click "OK" to add the default document. After adding or modifying the default document, click "Apply" in the right-hand Actions pane to save your changes.

It sounds like you're encountering an issue with the default document configuration in IIS for your ASP.NET web application. To resolve this issue and ensure that your web application loads correctly, follow these steps: Open IIS Manager: Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog. Type inetmgr and press Enter to open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Select Your Website: In the left-hand Connections pane, expand your server node, then expand the "Sites" node. Find and select your ASP.NET web application in the list of sites. Default Document Configuration: In the right-hand Actions pane, under "Edit Site," click on "Bindings." Ensure that you have a binding for your website, such as http on port 80. Default Document Settings: In the left-hand Connections pane, select your website again. In the right-hand Actions pane, under "Edit Site," click on "Default Document." Add Default Document: Click "Add" in the Default Document settings. Enter the name of your default document, which is usually something like Default.aspx or index.html , and press Enter. Move the newly added default document to the top of the list using the up arrow button on the right. Apply Changes: Click "OK" to save the changes. Restart IIS: To ensure that the changes take effect, you may want to restart IIS. You can do this by selecting your server node in the left-hand Connections pane, and in the right-hand Actions pane, under "Manage server," click on "Restart." Once you've configured the default document and ensured that your web application is bound correctly, accessing the URL should load your ASP.NET web application as expected. If you encounter any issues or error messages while making these changes, please provide more details, and I'll be happy to assist you further.
