handling redirects

Hi

I have a scenario in which if somebody types in http://myserver.com/abc where abc is one of my directory, then I want it to be redirected to one of my internal URL's.

Please advice

Thanks

That can be handled through your web server configuration, based on which web server it is you can modify the config file and put a default page which would open for this url.

Hi Sailesh

I am using the following syntax in my conf file but it's not working

Redirect /about http://staging.dummy.com/about/Index.page

Kindly let me know in case im doing something wrong.

You are providing no information

What OS are you using ?

Where did you make that change ?

Andy, I admire your patience Smiley Happy

Usually I do not even try to play "20 questions to pry your real issue out of you" Game.

It *looks* like he's using Apache directives which is of course the wrong way to do it
(and the wrong Web Server, too) if his question is related to TS Server

If that's TeamSite configuration requirement why don't you use TS Proxy Server?

Your regex and substitute appear trivial, [iwproxy_fullproxy_redirect] Section seems to be the place
to put it. Refer to "TeamSite® Administration Guide", Configuring the TeamSite Web Daemon and Proxy Server
for details

a bit more explanation of my scenario:
I have my complete site deployed on the production server, there I have a URL http://dummy.staging.com that points to my site. Now what i want is whenever a person types in http://dummy.staging.com/about where about is a dir in my site then it should be automatically redirected to http://dummy.staging.com/about/index.page.

Here what I am trying to use is rewrite_module in httpd.conf file but could not get any success in meeting my actual requirement.

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-

This part of your config file should be the one where you should be making your changes, I do not know the exact change you need to make (long since done anything like this) but can find out on net as how to make the changes.
