webmail not working on windows server

[serverguy]

Whenever I try to go to webmail.mydomain.com I get the 'Page cannot be displayed' error. I had this issue before and I was able to fix it, I just can't remember how I did it now. After I had a clean install of the server os it stopped working again. Does anybody know how to fix this? I am using Windows with Plesk 7.

What server-side scripting technology does the webmail app use? This sounds like a typical case of either missing application mappings or disabled web service extensions.

For example; say it were to run on PHP. Make sure the site's node in IIS points to the PHP binary for .php and also make sure that there is a web service extension which allows that same binary to run.

Or quite possibly that default page is set to 'default.htm' and you would need to make it 'index.*' or 'default.*' for whatever language it is created in.

That would return an Access Denied error.

Thanks a lot that fixed the problem. The way I fixed the problem was by going into IIS Manager. Right-clicking the webmail under 'web sites' and then selecting the 'Home Directory" tab. From there I clicked on 'Configuration' and then 'Add'. I then did a search on my server for php.exe in another window and then added that path for the .php extension.
