  The system cannot find the file specified. Reply Contact Greetings! I have an ASP application with the home page named "default.asp". So the URL looks something like this: "http://MyServer/reports" And this works perfect! But "http://MyServer/reports/default.asp" reports back "The system cannot find the file specified." Makes no sense! I suspect that someone modified the IIS configuration, but I know not what. I've seen plenty of post with this error, but still can't find an error in my configuration. Thank You! Barry

There is only 1 page.  This problem started after one of the developers was doing some troubleshooting on another site on IIs. Both he and I have looked at it plenty. He thinks we we need to reinstall IIS.

  Re: The system cannot find the file specified. Reply Contact Sounds like overkill, should be easier to fix than that. What is the root folder for http://myserver/? Is "reports" an actual subdirectory for that root folder or a virtual directory?  What is its physical path?
