Set a default document

When a new blog is created, Telligent Community tries to write a file to your Web site so that the Web server allows the http://<sitename>/blogs/BLOG-NAME/ links and typical http://<sitename>/blogs/BLOG-NAME/default.aspx file to work.

However, a permission problem may occur with conflicting security settings for the Telligent Community application pool. To fix the problem, give the Telligent Community application pool write permission to the /blogs/ directory of your Web site:

1. In IIS, navigate to your blog in the /blogs/ directory, then right-click it.
2. Select Edit permissions from the shortcut menu, then select the Security tab.
3. Click the ASP.NET or Network Service user to highlight the user, then select the Write check box in the permissions Allow column.
4. Click OK.

If you are reluctant to give write permissions to the /blogs/ directory, create the default page manually:

1. Create a folder with the same name as the application key of the blog you created.
2. Inside that folder, create a blank file named default.aspx. This causes IIS to hand the request to ASP.NET, which gives the URL rewriting in Telligent Community the time to take effect.
