IIS 7, loads blank screen

I've just setup an开发者_C百科 application under the default web site installed by IIS 7.

I've tried loading both http://localhost and http://localhost/myappname

in both cases, all I am getting is a blank page, no errors. And although directory browsing is enabled, I can't even see a list of the files in that directory.

Any ideas why this is?

Thanks in advance...

IIS loads the default file when you try to access it that way. Check if you have a index.htm or default.aspx file. if not you will need to have a file with these names or you can set your the default file according in IIS under the document tab of properties.

In my case, it turned out that the Web Site was not loaded, because Skype was using port 80. However I needed a full system restart to get the web site to restart...
