The issue that I am having is that when I go to create a new web application, I do not have the option to "Use an existing IIS web site", and "Default Web Site" is not listed in the drop down box, for all of it is grayed out. But when I create a new IIS web site, after configuring it to work, I cannot access the site at all.
Now, this is what had happened. Since this is just a test server, we were going through and creating new applications, but instead, we decided to use an existing one, just to try out. Problem is, afterward, we decided to delete the Default Web Application in MOSS, and ever since that had happened, we cannot get any new applications to work, which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the Default Web Application.
When we looked in the IIS Manager, we noticed that under the Web Sites folder, the Default Web Site was gone, so we re-created a new one. But still, the new web applications did not work, and we could not access them at all.
So, we uninstalled SharePoint, removed the IIS component in the Add/Remove Components area, restarted the server, reinstalled the IIS component, and reinstalled SharePoint. Even after doing all of that, it still will not allow us to use an existing IIS web site to grab the Default Web Site, and new applications will still not work.
What else am I missing? Is there something that I will need to restore in order to get this to work again?
Also, we have a second server that we use to Network Load Balance to, so should I copy the Default Web Site configuration from the IIS Manager from the second server, and restore it on the first?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
