Hello everyone. Im running WSS 3, Windows Server 2003 R2, IIS 6.
I am fairly new to Sharepoint administration. For some reason when I type:
https://site.companyname.com/ The sharepoint will not load. i get a 403 error.
But when i type https://site.companyname.com/default.aspx the site loads fine. This of course causes lots and lots of problems because most of the links in WSS 3 dont include the "default.aspx" or other file name at the end. they look like - https://site.companyname.com/intranet/
ALSO, if i do browse to the site using "https://site.companyname.com/default.aspx" then click on a valid document link that happens to include a space "%20" in the location i.e. "https://site.companyname.com/monthly%20bulletin/junebulletin.pdf " I get "The page cannot be found" HTTP Error 404
Now, just as a side note, this site was working a few days ago that's why i know everything works.... someone did an IIS reset, and now nothing works correctly... Is it maybe an IIS setting that I missed someplace??
thank you for any help.
