title: Drupal static homepage not working
body: <p>First off, I'm completely new to Drupal, so I could be making a ridiculously simple mistake...</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Drupal 7.9, and trying to use an HTML homepage that I've already created, that does not follow the Theme...</p>
  
  <p>I've tried using the page-front.tpl.php file, but it is completely ignored.  I then found that in Drupal 7 I should be using page--front.tpl.php, but that is ignored as well.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked through many different tutorial and FAQs, but to no avail.  Can someone possibly point out what I'm doing wrong?  I've even added some test text to the page.tpl.php file, just to make sure that it's loading that one instead; which it is.  Is there some setting that I'm missing that tells Drupal to use the page--front.tpl.php file?</p>
  
  <p>Here's the server setup...
  Windows Server 8;
  IIS 7;
  MySQL 5
  PHP 5</p>
  
  <p>I know, we should be using Linux and Apache...  I'm still working on getting our Windows happy VP to let me make the switch...:)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help, I'm at a loss here...</p>
