Thanks David.

I turned off the "show Friendly HTTP Errors and it gives
me a the following error:

"Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be
listed.

I checked the box for Browse Directory and all pages come
up. I just can't seem to get the web page to
automatically display. What else can I do to solve this
problem. I have been working on getting this site up for
three weeks now. Getting frustrated.
