Could you please tell me the version of your asp.net core? Do you use asp.net core MVC, web api or Razor page? Besides, I suggest you could try to add below codes into your startup.cs Configure method. Codes like this app.UseDefaultFiles(new DefaultFilesOptions { DefaultFileNames = new List<string> { "index.html" } }); app.UseStaticFiles();

I suggest you could make sure you have the index.html page inside the wwwroot root folder. Besides, I suggest you could share your stratup.cs codes to let me know if you have some other settings.

There is no index.html in the wwwroot root folder.

I use `page "index.html" in the Index.cshtml So I can use index.html to Index

http://www.xxxxx.com/index.html is http://www.xxx.com/Index

According to your description, I couldn't understand clearly. Do you mean your wants to modify your razor page's default page to index.cshtml ? Or you have index.html and index.cshtml? If possible, could you please share your project directory makeup and startup.cs route config related codes?

I do not want to modify the razor pges's default page.

As you know the default page is Index,but I can change the Index to index.html right?

but then I can not use the default page.

before change the default page url is'http://xxxx.com/Index I can open it 'http://www.xxxx.com' it will auto open the page 'Index

but after change the url of the Index to index.html

@page "/index.html" I can not open the page use the url http://www.xxxx.com` there will be an 404 error.

As you want a static file to be the default, you need to config the default file handler. You want to configure default documents. See docs
