Guest To Old To . . . Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 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.
Guest Anthony Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 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, Anthony http://www.airdesk.co.uk "To Old To . . ." <ToOldTo@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:01F668C3-E96B-41A1-BABF-6AB385411834@microsoft.com... >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.

Guest To Old To . . . Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 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?

Guest johnboy007 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 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....

Guest Anthony Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 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.

Guest To Old To . . . Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 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.

Guest Anthony Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 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, Anthony http://www.airdesk.co.uk "To Old To . . ." <ToOldTo@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C1360604-75DE-4A06-8A75-5488F1B8C1C7@microsoft.com... > 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 > > "Anthony" wrote: > >> 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. >> Anthony, >> http://www.airdesk.co.uk >> >> >> "To Old To . . ." <ToOldTo@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:A7A10707-0C9B-4FA5-82DA-EA8402B04627@microsoft.com... >> > Not sure what you mean Host header. >> > >> > >> > "Anthony" wrote: >> > >> >> Did you look at the host header I mentioned? >> >> >> >> "To Old To . . ." <ToOldTo@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> >> news:850C79F8-F548-4BD5-95C8-64F974742097@microsoft.com... >> >> >I can't use the redirect as it is already pointed to e:\dir.
