add a web.config file to the root directory and include below code "RewriteHTML" > "(.*)" /> "MatchAll" > "{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType= "IsFile" negate= "true" /> "{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType= "IsDirectory" negate= "true" /> "Rewrite" url= "{R:1}.html" />

Most likely causes: The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server. The URL contains a typographical error. A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.

Hi Sachin Singh, I created a website in IIS called kas and added an application named kas as well. In C:\kas was shared and the share name is kas. The location of the html files and graphics is in C:\kas and I added the URL Rewrite in kas application. The web.config now is located in C:\kas\web folder to remove the Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'rule' with unique key attribute 'name' set to 'RewriteHTML' When i started to launch the site 1.html -- it displays the web content however when launch the site 1 -- it displays errors Detailed Error Information: Module IIS Web Core Notification MapRequestHandler Handler StaticFile Error Code 0x80070002 Physical Path C:\kas\web\1 Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous
