redirect http to www

[Guest To Old To . . .]

I am not sure if this is the place, but when I type in xxxxxx.com or

http://xxxxxx.com I can't get to the site. I have to type http://www.xxxxxx.com. I

moved my site from Unix to Windows. In Unix I can add a line to the .htaccess

file. How do I do this for IIS?

Thank you in advance.

Re: redirect http to www

 

You can redirect in IIS by setting Properties, Home Directory, a redirection

to a URL.

But it sounds as though what you want is to add xxxxx/com as a host header

to the http://www.xxxxx.com site,

Re: redirect http to www

 

I can't use the redirect as it is already pointed to e:\dir. So is there

anything else that I can do?

 

Thank you for your reply

Did you look at the host header I mentioned?

RE: redirect http to www

 

Which site is it internal being hosted by your IIS? or external? sounds like

a DNS record needs to be added or as Anthony said a Host header....

 

PM back and will be able to help

Re: redirect http to www

 

In the website Properties, web site identification, Advanced, you can set

one or more host headers for the listen to respond to, for example

http://www.xxxx.com and xxxx.com

Or else if you have two sites on two different IP addresses you can redirect

one to the other.

Re: redirect http to www

 

OK, under Web site ID > advanced, I put in http://www.xxxxxx.com port 80, and

xxxxx.com port 80. no change.

Is this correct?

Thank you for a fast reponse

RE: redirect http to www

 

Well adding the host header, broke the website as unreachable http400 error.

Also broke all the internal links.

You mentioned DNS Record? What record would I need to add. Host(A)?

 

Thank you for your reply.

Re: redirect http to www

 

You need these things to work:

 

1) Your DNS needs to resolve both domain.com and http://www.domain.com. If you want

them to go to the same place then you give them both the same address. For

example, you can say that host domain.com is 212.452.10.120. Then you can

say that http://www.domain.com is an alias for this, and web.domain.com is also an

alias. Or you can create them all as separate hosts, with the same address.

 

2) In IIS you just set up a website on that IP address. It will answer

anything coming in on that IP address, regardless of the names or aliases

used.

 

3) If you have two IIS sites, running on two different IP addresses, you can

redirect one to the other with the Redirection property I gave you before.

You would only need to do this if the DNS was set up with hosts having

different IP addresses.

 

3) In IIS, if you are trying to run more than one site on one IP address,

you need to use host headers. The header is contained in the request from

the client. When IIS sees the host header, it gives it to the correct site.

A site can have more than one host header. The site will no longer respond

to any request that does not contain its assigned host header(s), for

example it will not respond to http://domain (no .com) or http://locahost or

http://[iP_address]. I think you need to restart the site for it to start

working with the new headers.

 

As you can see, there are lots of possible combinations,

Hope it helps if not (or if it works) PM here.
