In the root directory /lawgarag there is a file:Winhostdefault.htm I want to redirect the traffic for www.mypenates.com to the subdirectory /mypenates. I have set up a sub domain pointer /mypenates. I have copied the code from the knowledge base http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a649/how-to-redirect-a-subdomain-to-a-subdirectory.aspx article into the Winhostdefault.htm file as below: HOWEVER THE TEXT between the <% .. %> is grey in VIsual Studio. This may be the main issue. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <% If InStr( UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")), UCase("www.mypenates.com") ) > 0 Then Response.Redirect("/mypenates") End If %> <head> <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="Operations/images/LG/LG_AH_Icon%2016x16.psd"/> As per the instructions I have modified the 1. Replace subdomain.HostingAccountDomain.com with your actual subdomain URL . : - www.mypenates.com 2. Replace /subdomain with your actual subdirectory name. :- /mypenates However http://www.mypenates.com/ still displays the page for Law Garage in the root directory not the page at /mypenates Regards AND900MOR900
OK I have resolved this myself. You need a page with the aspx extension not htm extension Default.aspx
Yes, the code was made for asp so it needs to be in a asp or aspx page. Glad to hear you got it working. I believe you brought up the IIS module called "URL rewrite" in a ticket, which is also another option to performing these types of redirects without having to write the code manually. Customers can access this module through IIS manager.
