Using SSI on Home Page

C

Chevron7

My ISP recently upgraded the server to Sever 2008/IIS7. When they published
my website to the new server the home page was renamed from index.stm to
index.htm. When I tried to rename the home page via FrontPage back to
index.stm it was changed to default.htm. If I rename default.htm to
default.stm FP takes my home page out of the navigation structure. Needless
to say, my SSI's no longer work. How can I get them working again?

If you don't have acceses to a web control, contact your host to have them
add index.stm as a default page in IIS.

My web.config file of my website already contains index.stm:
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear />
<add value="index.htm" />
<add value="Default.htm" />
<add value="Default.asp" />
<add value="index.html" />
<add value="iisstart.htm" />
<add value="default.aspx" />
<add value="index.asp" />
<add value="index.stm" />
<add value="index.php" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>My web.config file already contains index.stm:

That has already been tried; it did not make a difference. Just for kicks I
added default.stm at the top of the list (web.config) and then tried to
rename default.htm to default.stm. FP/IIS renamed the page but it is no
longer in the navigation structure.
