301 Redirects

[expresso]

We have moved our existing blog to a new domain. But we still have it
running on the old domain also. Anyone linked to our old url will
need a 301 redirect to the new url.

Is there a way to enable 301 redirects with Subtext in any way?

Not that I know of. Are you on IIS 7? There's a URL Rewrite Module that allows you to enter redirects.

In the next version of Subtext, this scenario will be easier, though not built in directly.

yes, we're using IIS 7. I guess I'll have to build a URL rewriter
then or something because we have to get these redirected ASAP to the
new domain for a while since we'll have some referrers to the old site
still that need to be redirected.

Are you talking about in IIS 7?

Yes, but the IIS URL Rewriter is a lot like the apache mod rewrite. It
doesn't just allow rewrite. It let's you match a request and define
the response to that request. So you can rewrite or you can redirect
or you can specify 404. Basically any http response you want.

Thanks Phil, just installed the add-on for IIS7, nice. Just have to
figure out what expression to match against. I don't know if there's
anything specific in terms of Subtext is concerned to match whatever
url is incoming, but I assume that's on our end, matching the domain
name from the incoming URL and redirecting to our new domain name in
the url. cool

Damn did not know it was a simple as using the IIS redirect module.
