301 Redirect

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All,

I have an htm file as my website landing page. Now that I have installed the mobile add-on, I want to redirect my htm landing page to home.asp to take advantage of the automatic mobile phone redirect. I've followed the instructions in the WIKI and created a default.htm file with the following:(changing productcart to my renamed folder)

<%

Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently" 

Response.AddHeader "Location", "/productcart/pc/home.asp"

%>

Once this is uploaded to my root (where my original index.htm file is located) and I enter my url I get a page loaded with the redirect code displayed rather than my home.asp page. I also tried putting in the complete url to the home.asp page in the above statement without success. In the WIKI is says to upload to my pc folder but I can't figure out why that would work since typing in my url will grab the index file and stop there. What am I missing? Any ideas on how to accomplish this redirect?

Sorry for the long post and thanks

Alan

	Alan - since that code is ASP, you need to place it in an ASP page. A .HTM page, as you discovered, does not know how to deal with ASP scripting.
