The error tells you what you can try so what exactly is your question?

All this error means is that there is no default document. For example, when you type in www.codeproject.com notice you haven't specified a webpage. But because they have a default document setup, it is actually loading the default document.

So, open IIS and find the Default Document link, open it and type in whatever your default document is. In ASP.Net it's common to have one named default.aspx.
