I deleted a product from my cart and then added it again so it now has a slightly different url. It ranks quite well on google (which I forgot about until after I deleted it ) so I would like to set up a redirect but not sure how to do it on windows hosting. Anyone know?

[OldWelshGuy]

the easiest way for a single page (if you don't have ISAPI rewrite) is to create a page with the old file name, and then place this code at the top of the page before anything else is sent to the browser.

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.newdomain.com/newdir/newpage.asp"
response.end
%>

Obviously newdomain etc needs to be your new page location.

Thank you, that is brilliant!

You do have ISAPI Rewrite Sharon, this link will tell you what to do:

Is there a way to redirect from upper to lower case URL's on a Windows server?

[OldWelshGuy]

This is an odd one isn't it I am worried that it might cause an infinite lopop and drag the server down until it dies screaming

Unlike Linux, URL case isn't an issue with Windows boxes...

I just found this post on another forum...

or /caseChallenges/ on Windows using ISAPI_Rewrite... #convert all uppercase to lower

RewriteCond url ([^?]+[[:upper:]][^?]*).*
RewriteHeader X-lowercase-URI: .* $1 [CL]
RewriteCond Host: (.+)
RewriteCond X-lowercase-URI: (.+)
RewriteRule [^?]+(.*) http\://$1$2$3 [I,RP]

You can make Windows behave just like Apache if you have the right tools at hand. The above is for Version 2.0 of ISAPI_Rewrite. Version 3.0 utilizes .htaccess which I'm still learning. I like 2.0 because I've worked with it for years and can easily cut and paste different rules when needed.

Sounds like the sort of thing I need to do. Can anyone with some technical knowledge confirm?

Thanks Phil Is it any extra or included in the package?

[openmind]

Nope it's included. Look in your wwwroot folder for a file named httpd.ini and add the extra rules to this file.

This file also created the SEF URLs for your store so be careful what you change
