Hello,

 

In community server 2.0 and previous, visitors could access the various blogs by referencng the name as a folder. For instance http://blog.fulgan.com/blogs/fulgan/ would bring them to my own personal blog.

Now, unfortunately, this doesn't work any more: visitors needs to go to http://blog.fulgan.com/blogs/fulgan/default.aspx in order not to receive a 404.I've verified that setting the default document to "default.aspx" in IIS (6) doesn't solve the issue.

How can I solve this, please ?

Thanks

Can you check /blogs folder to see if there are some folders with your blogs names and there is an empty default.aspx in each folder?

Thank you for the answer.

Yes, these folders exists and they all contain only a "default.aspx" file.

Well, so have you made any change in your IIS settings?

Sorry for the delay in my answer: a problem came up and this one kinda fel under my radar for a moment.

I haven't made any change to the IIS configuration of this web site, at least not since I initially setup this web. I've verified in the "Document" tab that the root of the web does have "default.aspx" listed as the default content page and that this functionality is, indeed, enabled.

 
Is there anything else I should be checking ?

If so, how?

In case anyone has the problem, a cause might be a wildcard ISAPI mapping:
