How can I create a redirection on IIS?

[VipinLouka78]

Hi,

I want to know how to create a server side 301 redirection on IIS7.

I found on google the below details;

IIS Redirect

• In internet services manager, right click on the file or folder you wish to redirect
• Select the radio titled "a redirection to a URL".
• Enter the redirection page
• Check "The exact url entered above" and the "A permanent redirection for this resource"
• Click on 'Apply'

But couldn't find anything like that. Can anyone help me out.

thanks & regards

Hi John!

Are you using IIS Manager to administrate your server? If not, that's probably why the details you listed would not apply.

If you come from a Linux background and just want to modify a file, like you would with the .htacess file, you will be editing the web config file. Microsoft has a knowledge base article (albeit short) on this at the following:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wenlong/archive/2007/09/18/how-to-redirect-a-url-in-iis6-iis7-and-in-asp-net.aspx

Let me know if you have questions. I would be happy to help further.

Cheers!

Hi,

Thanks so much Zachary. In fact I am purely from linux background. This is the first time I am dealing with IIS. let me check albiet short and IIS Manager.

Apart from web config file, I read about global.asax file. I think these files are are used for redirecting a whole site, right?. But in my case I need to redirect some of my old html pages to aspx pages.

best!
