Windows

I have newly installed machine on which i have installed the IIS. On each of the sites I am installing requests are not reaching the site pages. However, if I send a request with the path of a HTML/image file explicitly the resource is accessible.

Also, I do not get the "Create Virtual Directory" option in IIS. I only have the option to create a web site.

What went wrong?
