.htaccess file type for .asp

[ldylion214]

I've been told a .htaccess file won't work on my site because it is .asp. What would be an alternative that would work for me. I have an old javascript code for redirect Would something like this work to redirect my //example.com to //www.example.com?

or Would either of these work?

ASP Redirect
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.example.com/");
%>

ASP .NET Redirect
<script runat="server">
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.example.com");
}
</script>

I'm trying to find this on my own. If this should be somewhere else, let me know. I'll post it where it needs to go.

Thanks in advance!

Hi ldylion214

IIS doesn't use .htaccess, it's an Apache feature.

You can do re-directs using code like your example at the page level. Use a HTTP header checker to confirm it works as expected.

To configure re-directs at the server level on IIS you need access to the IIS MMC or use ISAPI_REWRITE (usually not available on shared hosting).

Here is the code that worked:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
If Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") <> "www.tribeazure.com" Then
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.tribeazure.com/"
End If
%>

One of the guys on another of my forums finally got it for me. Maybe this will be of some help to someone else.

Best, Nicci
