SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), version 3.0, allows you to specify multiple file names for the default home page. For example, you can configure your server to send these files to the Web browser when it accesses your site but does not request a specific page:
Index.htm
Index.html
Default.htm
This feature of IIS causes FrontPage to incorrectly name the default page when you create a new web using a template or if you use the Publish FrontPage Web command on the File menu in FrontPage Explorer. For example, when FrontPage creates the page on an IIS server configured to recognize the file names listed above, it names the home page as:
index.htm,index.html,default.htm

CAUSE

FrontPage does not support this feature of IIS, which was added to IIS version 3.0. IIS was released after FrontPage was released.

RESOLUTION

Open the Web that contains the incorrectly named default page and rename the page.
