What is the best way to take an old non DNN site url from an ad campaign  and redirect it to a new page within the new DNN install of the website.

eg: I need the url site A= "http://www.xxxx.com/XXXX_XXX" to redirect to url site b= "http://www.xxx.com/xxxxx_xxxxxxx.aspx"

where Site A is the non dnn site and Site B is the new DNN site with the same domain name as Site A.

Further clarification- (not real site)

http://testsite/dnn/general_overview goes to http://testsite/dnn/forum_main.aspx

I have looked at Ifinity and it does not seem to be able to do this.  Did I misconfigure?  Or should I make a change to the siteurl.config?  If siteurl.config, how should the changes be made?

Ifinity can do many of these but other options would depend on the server. If Server 2008, you can get the rewrite extension that can be maintained in the web.config file. Check: http://www.iis.net/expand/URLRewrite.  If older, ISAPI_rewrite is a good option: http://www.isapirewrite.com/.  I've used all three with good success.  But, I would give Bruce an email (bchapman@ifinity.com.au) and double check Ifinity isn't enough.  Your example requires a change in how .Net runs for any module to be in play.

the simplest way to redirect a url is to create the page were it once was with a simple redirect to the new page.

I came accros this when I started using DNN and Aspx and no root directory.

You can create a nice flash redirct using a program called Koolmoves very easy to use with the ability to redirect traffic as well.

That is the smiplest way to redirect if you were on a windows server enviroment. if not get a free hosting on the linux server of choice and build a redirect to the aspx page that replaced the one were you were.

In any event you accomplish your task.

Also you might want to read up on bots and how them look at the redirect information.

This way you can tell the bot that the page has moved.

Then after about a year you can dump the old links and happy day you are DNN only

My issue was with Url master configuring with IIS wildcard.  See instructuions within the URL master for setting tthe II6 wildcard and it works fine using the address with a virtual directory.
