I need to redirect a \"fake\" sub domain to a real subdomain in IIS 7.5. The reason is that the marketing department doesn\'t want to use the actual website address in print pie
I think you need to create a separate site with host bindings for report.usapartners.com
(the fake site) in IIS. This is going to be a stub site (it will still need a path on the disk, but it's only going to have a web.config
in there) which will just host a redirect rule.
Now click on HTTP Redirect
for that site in IIS and tick Redirect requests to this destination
and put http://reporting.usapartners.com
in the textbox. Then tick Redirect all requests to exact destination (instead of relative to destination)
, don’t tick the next one and then choose Status Code Permanent (301)
.
If you want it to redirect and keep the subdirectories and/or query string, then you can change the contents of the textbox to be http://reporting.usapartners.com$S$Q
. Note that there is no trailing slash in this case. The $S
preserves the sub directories and the $Q
preserves the query string.
