.htacces file

[John]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a 301 redirect using the .htacces file, I'm not sure if I
already have one of these? I've downloaded my site using the ' Edit with
microsoft frontpage' option and can't see one, can anybody help me?

Cheers
John

On available if hosted on a Unix/Linux server and you would have to download it with a FTP
application. If you are hosted on Windows IIS, then ask your host to set up the 301 redirect for
your web account.

Unless I'm missing something how would one set up a 301 on IIS? I've always
done it through code because I thought that was the only way. Running a
dedicated win2003 box so effectively I am the host.

Jon,

1. Browse to the site under IIS Admin

2. In the right pane, right click on file name and then click "Properties"

3. Under the "File" tab, selection "A redirection to a URL"

4. In the "Redirect to" field, enter the URL you want the link to go to

5. Make sure "The exact URL entered above" and "A permanent redirection for
this resource" are both checked.
