This message is a little inaccurate. The problem is: Sitebuilder tries to request site's root url, expecting site returns default page content. And it doesn't work, so please check default page settings on the publication place.

the defaul document is set to default.aspx
If i change it to something else , I will get a default document priorty error popup

 

[Alex Klimov]

If you try to publish only static site (when site has no modules), then you need to add 'default.htm' at the top of the list:

The order in which the default documents (default.htm, default.aspx, and so on) will be used to respond the browser request is defined (working directory menu > Properties > Documents tab).

Full requirements list is here:

If it still doesn't help, let's clarify all details:
1. Publication place is runned undo IIS or Apache?
2. Does anonymous account has efficient access to default page?

I added default.htm , so both default pages are specified , and it now works .

Thanks alot
