Greetings... I was recommened your product for our IIS environment to redirect users to our site (MOSS 2007) We are having problems getting the code to successfully work.

Here is what we want to do...

URL: http://www.abc.com
Sends the user via a 301 to http://www.abc.com/en-us/pages.home.aspx/

The thing with MOSS is that by default the redirect is a 302, we want this to explicticly be a 301.

Right now we're seeing to many hops as it's going from

1. REQUESTING: http://www.abc.com
HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
HOST: www.abc.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 6.0)

Maximum number of redirects occured.

Destination URI: http://www.abc.com/en-US/Pages/Home.aspx

We just want the rewrite to go from http://www.abc.com to http://www.abc.com/en-us/pages/home.aspx.

Here is the last example of the code we had been working with before the end of the day:

# Pages Redirect - Change 302 to 301 redirect
RewriteCond  %{HTTP:Host} VariationRoot.aspx$
RewriteRule / http\://www.abc.com/en-US/Pages/Home.aspx [I,RP]

Guidance would be appreciated.

Ok.. i understand on putting the code into the .htaccess file.. but what other code do i still need? What needs to go into the .conf?
