web.config redirect

[wright67uk]

Hi,

 

Im looking to create a web.config file to upload for my website.

I have a canonicalisation issue, I want anybody visiting eg.  i-stevenage.co.uk to be redirected to www.i-stevenage.co.uk.

I know nothing about web.config files, is this somthing I should learn, or is there a generator / standard code templates out there?

 

I see plenty of info for linux users and htaccess but not a lot of info for windows users and web.config.

That is because the majority of PHP developers use Linux / Apache hosting.

If you have IIS7.5 perhaps this will be interesting to you (google turned up this page): http://www.servicefirstsupport.com/KB/a538/how-do-i-import-an-htaccess-file-into-iis-75.aspx

All becomes clear.  Looks like going forward I need to explore a different hosting package.  I can only assume that migrating all of my sites from a windows based server to a Linux, would be too much of a nightmare.

 

But thanks for the pointer!
