Hi all,
I'm deeply confused and I was wondering if anyone could help. I've set up plenty of copies of IIS before and never had too much trouble, but now I'm totally stumped.
A client has provided us with a laptop on which we've set up our web app to run locally. The problem is, when browsing to it all that's returned is a blank page.
I thought it must be a problem with our application, but just to be sure, I tried to browse to iisstart.htm. Unfortunately, that was a blank page too. The documents do exist, I can open them by double clicking, and it appears as expected. So C:\inetpub\wwwroot\iisstart.htm opens fine in the browser, http://localhost/iisstart.htm does not.
I then thought it must be an issue with the permissions of the folder. As such I added Everyone with Full Control, just as a start point to see it working, before setting the real permissions. Nope. Still blank.
Next guess was to rerun aspnet_regiis. Still blank.
Did a system restore and reinstalled everything. Still blank.
I've checked the application logs and the IIS logs but there's nothing in there.
Custom errors are off, friendly http error messages are off.... But there's nothing there at all, just a blank white screen.
I have no idea how to proceed... Any suggestions?
Either way, thanks for reading my tale of woe!
