I converted from classic ASP to ASP.NET a while back. I saw in my stats hundreds of attempts to a page ..../redir.asp

This page does not exist in the new website but there are many links to it on other website pages.

It is possible to create an classic .asp page with ASP.NET so I can redirect it to the new /default.aspx homepage?

Hi there, it should work if you add URL Mappings to your web.config file

Add something like this to the system.web node of the web.config

        <urlMappings enabled="true">
            <add url="~/redir.asp"
                mappedUrl="~/default.aspx"/>
        </urlMappings>

Thank you - that certainly looks like it should work but it does not appear to have any effect.

I have this customError mode set - is it overriding the urlMappings code?

I don't think the custom error has anything to do with it not working. For some reason it worked on my localhost, but I just read that urlMappings are only for .Net extensions, so if that is the case then that would be the issue.

However, I think this article has exactly what you should need.
