Hello all,
My client has a website which is hosted on a shared IIS server. I have been asked to make some changes to that website.
I need to redirect some of the old web pages to their new web page addresses - which I know how to do on Apache by using .htaccess.
I currently have access to the FTP account and I can also access the Web Hosting Contol Panel.
I had a look in the web hosting control panel and nowhere could I find that it was possible to set up a simple web page redirect such as something which would be able to do the below:
http://www.example.com/oldpage.html (redirects to--->) http://www.example.com/newpage.html
So instead I read that you must install the "Internet Information Services Manager" software to your desktop and then log in using this software, then connect to the server and then I can change the HTTP redirect settings.
However, I have tried both the "connect to a server" and "connect to a website" options multiple times but have not had any success.
So I have some questions:
1) The ultimate goal is to change the HTTP redirect settings. Is there an easier way to do this than the way I am currently attempting?
2) How can I connect to the server properly using the "Internet Information Services Manager" software? What am I doing wrong? At the moment I am getting the "
I appreciate your help and please bear with me as I have never used IIS before and only have used Apache previously.
All the best,
Cornelius
