Handling 301 Redirects when Moving from IIS to Apache Linux

[GlennFerrell]

I am moving a blog from domain A on IIS to domain B on Linux. Same posts and pages - different domain. I'm looking for a guide, article or steps on what needs to be done on the IIS side to make sure we do this correctly.

Thanks !

Why don't you just jump to wpengine for that? Why move to a subdomain - I don't think is a good idea. Why do you want to push them to move away from IIS to Apache? Because of redirects? You can do that too in IIS. What value does the client get when you move to apache? Because you're more comfortable with it?

The value of having the blog on the root is for the freshness, and when people share, engage, it adds value to the entire root domain no matter what directory it is. So, moving it to a subdomain is like moving it to a completely new website. Why?

Hi Glenn,

Assuming you're on IIS7, I think these are the steps you are looking for:

I strongly recommend you test the redirect configuration out on a test server first if you don't have a great deal of IIS experience.
