Redirect url from non standard port to standard port

I've done a little searching, but haven't found something that will do what
I'd like, or even know if I can do what I'd like.

I have been running IIS 6 on port 8080, users have been accessing the site
without any problems. I would like to run the server on the standard port 80
now. The problem I have is that there are links out to the site with the
port 8080 as part of the address/link. What I would like to do is have IIS
or another app intercept the url, strip the port 8080 info, and spit back the
url. For example, the user enters the following url:
http://www.mywebsite.com:8080/directory/file.htm

IIS or whatever strips the :8080, and spits back the following page/url to
the user
http://www.mywebsite.com/directory/file.htm

Any suggestions or recommendations on how I might go about doing this?

Thanks in advance
Josh

Re: Redirect url from non standard port to standard port

Hi,

My understanding of your question is that you want to show the new URL to
the user so they start using that URL instead. You can do this in IIS by
setting up a redirection.

Create two websites, one for port 80 and one for 8080. For the 8080 website,
set up a redirection with the following steps:

- In IIS Manager, right click the website and click Properties.
- Click on the Home Directory tab
- Select "A redirection to a URL" and in the "Redirect to" textbox write:
http://www.newdomain.com$V$Q
- Check the boxes "The exact URL entered above" and "A permanent redirection
for this resource"

More information can be found in the following article, see section
"Redirect from the old domain name to the new domain name":

Hope this helps.

Re: Redirect url from non standard port to standard port

Thanks Kristofer,

I believe that will work. I've made the changes on the server, and will see
if I run into any issues.

One quick question, some of the links have sub-domains, is there a way to
parse the sub-domains and pass that on to the new website as well?

Thanks!
Josh

Re: Redirect url from non standard port to standard port

Hi,

I do not understand your question completely. Do you want to redirect
subdomain.mywebsite.com:8080 to www.mywebsite.com? Or do you want to
redirect it to subdomain.mywebsite.com?

How many subdomains are we talking about?

You cannot parse the subdomain part from the domain name by using IIS
configuration. But there may be simple ways to do this, depending on what
you want to do, which is not clear. If you have a large number of subdomains
and a complex setup it may be easier to use a tool such as Isape-rewrite:

Re: Redirect url from non standard port to standard port

I would like to redirect subdomain.mywebsite.com:8080 to
subdomain.mywebsite.com. I have only 2 or 3 subdomains, and it'd probably
just be easiest to just let everything redirect to a single subdomain by
including it in the IIS redirection http://www.subdomain.mywebsite.com$V$Q.

Thanks for all your help Kristofer.

Josh

Re: Redirect url from non standard port to standard port

You can use the steps i have provided earlier. I don't know of any
configuration in IIS you can use to make only one configuration that works
for all domains, as far as i know IIS 6 configuration does not have such
advanced features. Atleast not that i can remember right now.

I hope you get this working (and sorry for my late reply, i had a few other
things to do).

Cheers and good luck with your website!
