Re: redirect URL

Hi Nik,

I had a somewhat similar problem but my websites were on the same server. I
don't think it matters. Underneath I'll describe the solution but it may nog
be 100% accurate, I'll do my best though ;-)

On the IIS that is accesible from the internet, you make a new website that
internet users will go to when following your URL (use a host header). Then
open the properties screen for that website and click the Home Directory
tab. There you should select "a redirection to a URL". You then get a field
"Redirect to:" where you fill in the domain part of the URL that you want to
redirect to. For example http://my.domain2.com. Of course you don't want a
request for my.domain1.com/here/and/there.html to be redirected to just
"my.domain2.com" but you want it redirected to
"my.domain2.com/here/and/there.html". To do this, type "$V" (without the
double quotes) behind the Redirect URL.
So in the "Redirect to:" field you should type http://my.domain2.com$V.

$V is a redirect variable and I believe the help in IIS 5 is not working
properly on this subject. In the help for IIS 6 this seems to be fixed but
you can't search on it. You have to click the help button in the Home
Directory tab, scroll down and use the link there.

I hope this helps you. It helped me redirecting an HTTP website to a HTTPS
website for my portal.

Kind regards,

Vinz.

Hi all,
how can I do a redirect URL in IIS so the internal LAN SharePoint site
located in another server, is accessible from the web?
