Hi All,

I'm moving my home page to the root directory and all seems to have gone well so far, but my problem is when I try http://www.mydomainname.com - www.mydomainname.com I get a blank screen. If I try http://www.mydomainname.com/home.asp - www.mydomainname.com/home.asp it works and displays my home page.

How do I get my home page to display with just http://www.mydomainname.com - www.mydomainname.com ? Is it related to index.asp or the setting of a default home page somewhere?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi St_Pierce

Ask your hosting company to add home.asp in IIS or rename home.asp to index.asp

Thanks Nigel!! That did the trick!

One other thing I noticed is that when I turn the store "off" in the store settings of the control panel. Then go to my domainanme.com page , I get "The page cannot be found" error and I see why; The "msg.asp" page is trying to be called from the root.

The page "pcStartSession.asp" has the following code...

'****** ' Check if store is ON or OFF '***********

If scStoreOff="1" then

response.redirect "msg.asp?message=83"

End If

Would it be better to change the code or just copy the msg.asp page to the root?

Thanks again for all your help!

Hi St_Pierce,
The documentation for moving the home page has had quite a few updates in the last couple of days. Your post prompted another, but it's worth reviewing the process again.
For your specific question see : http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/how_to/move_home_page_retain_ajax#copy_and_edit_home.asp -
