Redirecting to DNN

Web Gallery has installed DNN in a subfolder. I need to redirect the root to DNN. I replaced index.htm with only the following but I still get the default index.htm page displayed even after refreshing.

<%Response.Redirect("/dotnetnuke/Default.aspx")%>

How do I do the redirect?

Thanks,
Dave McMullen

 

<%Response.Redirect("/dotnetnuke/Default.aspx")%>
Did you put this on page event load?

There are several ways to do redirection, one efficient way is by doing it in your web.config which means IIS will redirect HTTP request as soon as its received. Doesn't require page load meaning faster redirection.

Web.config rule like this

<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^$" />
<action type="RedirectToSubdir" url="/dotnetnuke" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>

 

Still can't redirect

I created a web.config in the root folder (see attached):

web.config:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^$" />
<action type="RedirectToSubdir" url="/dotnetnuke" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

My alternative URL still does not bring up DNN, even if I delete index.htm from the root. Try my alternative URL:

http://bibleworlds.web703.discountasp.net

index.htm only contains <%Response.Redirect("/dotnetnuke/Default.aspx")%>.

I also tried index.htm with this:
<%Response.Redirect("http://bibleworlds.web703.discountasp.net/dotnetnuke/Default.aspx")%> and no luck.

Can you please give me code that works?

Thanks

 

Your web.config failed to parse because it was just part of it. I was just showing you the part that does redirection.

See attached file, replace yours with this.

 

Still doesn't work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^$" />
<action type="RedirectToSubdir" url="/dotnetnuke" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Does it work for you? I even deleted the index.htm file and it still comes up.

 

It does work
http://bibleworlds.web703.discountasp.net/

 

Not on my machine -- I get Welcome to DiscountASP.net -- not DotNetNuke.

 

Multiple HTML Redirects to DNN .aspx pages

Question, I saw this post and i'm having the same issue.

I've got an old html site that i've converted to a DNN site...
There are about 8 html pages i need to redirect to my new aspx pages.

Using this sample, how could i match multiple html pages to redirect to the appropriate new DNN aspx page.

For example
I have www.mydomain.com/mypage01.html, www.mydomain.com/mypage02.html, and www.mydomain.com/mypage03.html

Using your example would the code for this section in my web.config look like this?

Code:

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="redirect" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="mypage01.html" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="mypage01.aspx" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
	<rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="redirect" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="mypage02.html" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="mypage01.aspx" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
	<rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="redirect" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="mypage03.html" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="mypage03.aspx" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Note: Of course above code of mypage03.aspx and etc. will be a friendly URL that i've updated the TABID to read as page name .aspx

In view of the foregoing, will this work by updating my web.config as shown above to catch multiple old .html files that need to be redirected to my new dnn .aspx pages?

Please advise as soon as you can. Thanks

P.S. I know there is module that will do this but i'm on a tight budget so i need to configure the web config to make old html redirects to my new dnn .aspx files. Again, please advise..
