Windows 2003 IIS Default Website access problem with Exchange 07 OWA installed

Asked by speedway in Microsoft IIS Web Server, Exchange Email Server

Tags: Microsoft, Windows 2003 server, 2003, Exchange 2007 OWA

Im transferring from Windows 2000 server with Exchange 2000 to a new Windows 2003 server with Exchange 2007 installed on it.

I have a new Windows 2003 domain controller installed with Exchange 2007 installed on it.  Ive gone through the process of setting up the new Exchange 07 software (standard installation setup) and it is running run fine in parallel with the old Exchange 200 server.  I have transferred my own mailbox to the new Exchange 07 mailbox store and everything is testing fine.

Im trying to test the OWA access on the new Exchange 07 server and this is where Im running into problem.  I see the Exchange 07 installation have setup the OWA virtual directories under the default website under IIS.  When I tried to browse the default website using any method from the server itself, I get the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage error from IE.  Im talking about trying the servers IP, servername.domain.com, localhost, 127.0.0.1, or just from IIS  right clicking default website  browse.
At first I figured it must be the IIS or some related service not running so I checked all the services on the server and everything is running correctly.  I check the system, application, and IIS logs and nothing shows anything wrong.

I used IIS and made a new website and just pointed it to the same default Windows 2003 website directory at c:\Inetpub\wwwroot as the home directory.  I ran the new site, browsed to it in IE and it worked fine.  I could browse it in IE from the server itself using the IP, server name or local host.

So I know IIS is working fine on this server.  My question is why cant I browse the default website?  Obviously, since I cant test browse the default website, I cant test OWA.

Permission problem?  Security settings?  Exchange 07 OWA related problem?  Thanks for any pointers.
