Root relative redirect

[COBodhi]

I am using FP2003 and want to create redirect pages for some addresses coming up on a report as receiving lots of hits but they don't exist.
What I know:
Go to the properties of the page
Custom tab
Add a System Variable
Name it REFRESH
Value = x; URL=http://www.zzz.com
where x=# of seconds before refresh and www.zzz.com is the new page
Is it possible, though to refer to pages with a root relative reference in the same web?
For example, the "phantom" page is licenses.html in the licenses subfolder but I need the redirect to go to licenses.html in cotter subfolder which is one level above the licenses subfolder in the hierarchy. IOW, I know how to refer to another page in the same subfolder but what about those in other subfolders in various levels of the hierarchy?
Thanks!

Hello COBodhi and welcome to the forums. Sorry your question went so long without a response.

If I get you correctly, you want to go "up" one directory and then "down" into the directory structure from there, correct? If so, you can use ../ to go "up" the directory tree by one folder. Using 2 ../../ goes up two directories, and so on.

So in your example, I think the relative expression would be "../../cotter/license.html" -- since you say that /cotter/ is actually a level above /license/ and not parallel (on the same level) which would be "../cotter/license.html"

If you are working in a domain, you can also say:

/images/top/file.gif

This will tell the server to go to its root and then down through the images and top directories. Writing this is the same as writing "www.example.com/images/top/file.gif".

Caveat: If you are using a hosting service, it is worth checking whether this is supported...

Thanks! I'll give those a shot.
