Zeus/4.3 and redirects.

Not a clue...

[g1smd]

I'm looking at a site with various canonical problems, and it uses Zeus/4.3 as the webserver.

I am struggling to understand how to fix the issues, but from reading around it seems that ISAPI can be used with Zeus/4.3... which as a LAMP user for years is outside of my experience.

Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions, or examples of code?

First thing to fix is non-www to www, but there's also a need to redirect some duff query string URLs to a set of URLs with a different query string appended.

Guess I always ask difficult questions.

You do ;) The last time I had to deal with Zeus, it was version 3.x, so I'm far from an expert - however, they do have an URL rewriting scheme of sorts modeled on mod_rewrite. Unfortunately, it's not the same syntax, and the links I have found to the tutorial and details on their website are all 404. :) There is only this non-article:

[support.zeus.com...]

There is an earlier thread here at WebmasterWorld with an example of the syntax:

[webmasterworld.com...]

As it is a commercial product, I would check whether your client can contact Zeus directly, assuming they have some sort of support plan. Or move the thing to an Apache server!

Thanks. That's a start!

I'm not sure why they have gone with Zeus, nor do I recognise the CMS that the site uses.

It has been very easy to diagnose the implementation problems, and recommend *what* to fix.

However, it does look like I won't be able to say much about the *how* to fix it part.

After a lot of digging, I found this:

[support.zeus.com...]

Will see if it is useful some time next week.

The other option is to try to do the www/non-www canonicalisation via the CMS - it's easily done with most programming languages. Redirects for query strings is harder though.

Maybe, but as of now I don't even recognise the CMS that's installed. :-)

There's no visible on-page branding, or comments in the HTML code.
