301 redirect in IIS?

[itrainu]

Now that I have mastered 301 on Apache (and my host provides a simple interface to set this up), I need to know how to set it up on Microsoft-IIS/5.0. A client has the control of the back end of his website and has had difficulty setting this up. I searched the web and found how to set up other error pages but not a 301.

Many thanks.

The best route is to set-up a custom 404 handler as these typically includes the ability to redirect the user to a certain location if they ask for a certain resource which no longer exists.

There's a similar discussion here which goes over most of the key ideas;

You could deploy a script per-redirect but to be honest its a total pain to run an maintain a system like that - a centralised 404 handler is so much easier!

Decent ASP 404 scripts capable of handling redirects are available for free pretty much anywhere - any ASP code portal worth it's salt will have one, or more likely several!

You could also try XOC's 404 handler;

itrainu,

Try this thread [webmasterworld.com] for a link to more info. I dug it up with a WebmasterWorld site search for "301 redirect IIS", and there are several more if that one doesn't work out for some reason. The link in that thread leads to a tutorial with screen shots and everything.

HTH,
Jim
