HELP: 301 for 50 pages on ASP box? (Not Apache..)

dou9las · 10-06-2009, 02:41 PM

Guys,
I'm in a time crunch, just found out that my client's client website is hosted on Windows, not an Apache server. (I am a sub and thus wasn't fed all info up front.) Up until today, my client had led me to believe that it was Apache, and that I should just use .htaccess to save time...

We are going live tomorrow, and I was about half done coding up the .htaccess when I decided to a quick test, and discovered the above (and thus htaccess is not an option...)

Can someone please suggest to me the quickest method possible to 301 redirect the old pages to the new ones on a Windows server ? (Same domain, no sub-domains, so just page file name changes here.)

A little help would be appreciated, this is a last minute bomb, and I still need to make sure forms are going to work too.

BTW, since the server is in Canada and I am in San Diego, I obviously will only have FTP access. I have seen some references to starting up the IIS Manager and entering file redirections there, but obviously I don't think that will work for me...

Thanks in Advance!

Exclusive of just creating a copy of the old page that redirects to the new page, every other option requires access to the IIS manager. can they give you Remote Desktop Access to the server?

Well, I have the forms working using formmail.asp, and on the 301 redirects, we have come to a general consensus that I will provide the needed redirects (txt file or whatever) and their IT people will be tasked with implementing them via the IIS interface.

Essentially, emergency now solved for the moment

Good thought on remote desktop, will keep that in mind as a back up in case we need to go that route.

Thank you for the reply.
