Does your site have Default.aspx in the root directory?

Hi all, 

I have just installed the IIS 6 on my server(os windows server 2003) and when i
go to the http://localhost it display the following 


Under Construction


 The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may
be in the process of being upgraded and configured. 

Please try this site again later. If you still experience the problem, try
contacting the Web site administrator. 

If you are the Web site administrator and feel you have received this message in
error, please see "Enabling and Disabling Dynamic Content" in IIS
Help. 
To access IIS Help


Click Start, and then click Run. 
In the Open text box, type inetmgr. IIS Manager appears. 
From the Help menu, click Help Topics. 
Click Internet Information Services.

Anyone why this is and how to fix it. I have not done anything except installing
the iis6. What steps i need to take to fix this issue.

Thanks

Hello,

After installing the IIS you should create your default web site, to choose your
home directory and the default starting page. You could find more info about IIS
in http://www.iis.net .

- Open the properties for the virtual root or website.
- Click the Documents tab.
- Check "Enable Default Document" and add your page to the list of
pages making your the first in the list.

Regards
