Just a quick question.
I've moved my site and want to redirect all link to the new site.
I'm trying to use the following code
quote:
Dim Topic
Topic = Request.Querystring("TOPIC_ID")
Response.redirect("mynewsite.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=""" & Topic & """")
But it's just going to the default.asp page!
The idea is to google links etc etc will link to to correct page on the new site.
[edit]Sorry i pasted the code and it added it as a single line< |

Response.redirect "mynewsite.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID="& Topic
Although the above would work with your approach, here's your entire routine in a single line, nothing else needed:Response.Redirect "mynewsite.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID="& Request.Querystring("TOPIC_ID")< |

Most redirects I have seen redirect to a page... If redirecting to a site, don't you need the http prefix? I would see if your redirect works using simple example.
Response.Redirect "http://www.w3schools.com"
Then build from there. (Use Response.Write to confirm 'topic' <> Null
From W3School website:
http://www.w3schools.com/ASP/met_redirect.asp
Syntax
Response.Redirect URL
Parameter Description
URL Required. The URL that the user (browser) is redirected to
Examples
<%
Response.Redirect "http://www.w3schools.com"

| Gary, the "mynewsite.com" isn't the actual URL. His redirect is working (partially) since it is reaching his default.asp page. His problem was in the syntax of the topic_id.< |

I changed my site around and found that people still had topics and forums as bookmarks so I created the following (real close to your code) redirection pages  :
default.asp:
forum.asp:
topic.asp
Just change the /forums part to where you want them to be reditected to and it should work as it has worked for me. 
I hope that this helps.  < |

You can't 301 redirect if you already printed out something like Response.Write of any kind etc., which is sad...
Beside that Response.AddHeader would be just fine...
I don't know if this will help but I moved an entire directory on my site to another one. The file names stayed the same. I used the following code on all the old pages after I moved them and the header worked perfectly....
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
dim strFileName
dim scriptname
scriptname = split(request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME"),"/")
strFileName = scriptname(ubound(scriptname))
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.coincommunity.com/coin_facts/dollars/" & strFileName
%>
Here's an example with this code....
http://www.coincommunity.com/coin_facts/dollars_notes/1794_flowing_hair_dollar.asp< |
Switch the order of your title tags |

Do you have direct access to IIS on the server used to host the old site?

Pity; you could have achieved what you wanted quite easily through IIS without the need for any ASP trickery.
