Re Directs on Windows Server

1 replies
I have a client with a fairly large shopping cart.
Over the past few months they have been deleting a large number of pages (500+).
This is beginning to create some indexing issues so we need to do 301 and 404 re-directs.
The site is ASP and is hosted on a server using Windows Server IIS ver6.
We have been told by the hosting company that the re-directs must be done one at a time.
This is not practical in terms of the client's resources.
Is there a faster, easier way to create this many re-directs on a Windows server.
I am not a programmer but have been told that with PHP you can write scripts to speed up the process. However, you cannot do this with ASP.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello!

    If you are using "old ASP" (aka not ASP.NET) and if you can change the 404 handler (if I remember correctly it's in the IIS configuration), you could use this technique :
    URL Rewrites and IIS / ASP

    Basically, you'll be able to change the 404 page with some script that will make a redirect based on mostly whatever you want.

    Sorry that I'm not really precise, I didn't use "old ASP" in the last 8 years

    Good luck!
