Folder Redirection

I assumed that this would be a simple thing to do but I'm finding it problematic.

I have a Folder that I've set to redirect to another URL via the Menu options of the Folder. However, the redirection is not happening. It happens if I navigate to http://domain.com/FolderName.aspx but not when using http://domain.com/FolderName or even http://domain.com/FolderName/

Normally, I would do this via IIS. However, I do not have access to this option in IIS for this particular deployment. Anyone have an idea of how I might get this to work?

Thanks in advance!

Default.aspx is set as one of the option for the default documents in IIS. However, this is still not handling the redirect. as in http://domain.com/FolderName/<IIS should assume default.aspx>


Member	matthew.mclarty-n-genstudios - 12/21/2009 10:33:03 AM RE:Folder Redirection It seems the CMS does not support Folder redirection. I wound up creating the folder within the physical location of the site and creating a default.aspx page that handles the redirect.

RE:Folder Redirection

Hi,

You also need to configure your Kentico CMS to use extension-less URLs according to following documentation:

http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/configuration_of_extensionless_urls.htm

In this way Kentico CMS will handle also requests for http://domain.com/FolderName/ and for http://domain.com/FolderName. I hope this will help you.

Best regards,
Miroslav Remias.

RE:Folder Redirection

Your suggestion worked for me! Thanks.

Our Kentico solution is placed on a shared hosted server without access to IIS. This does the job:

1. Create a physical folder ie. root of domain.
2 Place here a redirect file (ie. default.aspx) with following code
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://yourdomain/RedirectPageName">
3. In CMSDESK choose your folder to redirect and set the URL redirection to the newly created redirect file (Properties/menu/URL redirection)
