get 404 error message

Hello,

I'm trying to setup my website (http://www.mm-theory.com) using IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003, but I'm getting the following error message:

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

I don't know why it's saying this. The website is under the directory:

D:\Inetpub\public_websites\mm-theory\wwwroot

which is exactly what I have written under Home Directory, Local Path of the IIS properties for this website.

The home page is home.htm and I have this listed under the Documents tab in IIS.

Can anyone help me?

nice find there, gibby - this should probably help others...


I've seen the question a few times - but its been so long since I supported a windows server that I can't remember a thing...
