VBScript - General - Error - Host Redirect Issue

Hi

My hosting company have said that for my .net stuff to work it needs to be redirected first hand. They have given me this code which I have changed to suit myself but it doesn't work.

Code:

<%EnableSessionState=False

host = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")

if host = "linusit.co.uk/private/" or host = "www.linusit.co.uk/private" then
response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/index.asp")

else if host = "linusit.co.uk/private/" or host = "www.linusit.co.uk/private/" then
response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/private/index.asp")

else
response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/error.htm")

end if
%>

It works if you go to linusit.co.uk or www.linusit.co.uk but the private side of it isn't working at all and I am at a complete loss!

Please help....

HTTP_HOST only returns the host. If you want subsequent path info you need to use SCRIPT_NAME

I have tried the following but it hasn't worked

Code:

<%EnableSessionState=False

host = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
host2 = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")

if host = "linusit.co.uk" or host = "www.linusit.co.uk" then
response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/index.asp")

end if

if host2 = "linusit.co.uk/private/" or host2 = "www.linusit.co.uk/private/" then
response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/private/index.asp")

else
response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/error.htm")

end if
%>

Any ideas?

Yes, check the example given. host2 will always force a redirect to error because you aren't using the values correctly.

Anybody able to help me with this?

I can't use my .net application until I get this redirection sorted! I wish typing the url worked, would be so much simplier.

Send a message via Yahoo to keep_it_simple

have you debugged your host or host2 values?

it seems pretty straightforward that if the condition finds 1 or the other string assigned it will redirect accordingly. what is the response.write host print out?

Code:

<%
  host = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")

   response.write host
   response.end

  Select Case host
     Case "linusit.co.uk/private/", _
            "www.linusit.co.uk/private"

          response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/index.asp")
     
    Case "linusit.co.uk/private/", _
           "www.linusit.co.uk/private/"
        
          response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/private/index.asp")
   
     Case Else
   
      response.redirect("http://www.linusit.co.uk/error.htm")
  End Select
%>
