Question

I want to redirect sharepoint 2007 site from http://hostname to http://hostname/sites/main/default.aspx without using IIS site redirect way on server 2008R2. If I use IIS redirect way then I sometimes get this error "WebForm_PostBackOptions undefined" error.

Please help.

 

Answer 1

you can use a temporary page such as default.aspx in the root directory and can use meta tag as follows; default.aspx will be called by default by IIS and hence will redirect to the url provided in meta tag

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=/sites/main/default.aspx">

Hi,

if you are using ECM you could also use the Redirect WebPart by putting it on the page and setting the redirect rule on it.

 

Best regards
