You typed the page's file path (C:\Inetput\wwwroot\timetest.asp) 

instead of its URL (for example, http://localhost/timetest.asp) in the

After installing and testing the server software, create a root folder for your 

web application. 

Creating a root folder

After the server software is installed, create a root folder for your web 

application on the system running Microsoft IIS, and make sure the folder 

has the necessary permissions. 

To create a root folder for your web application:

Create a folder called MySampleApps on the system running IIS.

Write down this folder name for later use. When you type it later, be sure to

A good place to create the folder is in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\. By 

default, your IIS web server is set up to serve pages from the 

Inetpub\wwwroot folder. The web server will serve any page in this 

folder or in any of its subfolders in response to an HTTP request from 

a web browser.
