Hi - I've created a load of web pages for a new area within my existing site.



Currenly the home page for the new area is www.something.com/New.aspx



I want to be able to give custmers the URL of www.something.com/new



Can I get this extraordinarily trivial thing to work? Can I me arse.



Here is what I have tried so far:



ASP.NET 301 Redirect page:

Add a folder called "New" into my DNN folder structure. In there, put a page called default.aspx, which contains 301 redirect code. This has the bizarre effect of redirecting users to the home page of my host portal - nothing to do with the portal in question at all!



IIS7 301 redirect at folder level:

Add a 301 redirect at the folder level in IIS7. Doesn't work, cos then all my pages, which have URLs like www.something.com/New/Page.aspx are also redirected to my new area home page.



IIS7 301 redirect at page level:

Add a 301 redirect to a default.aspx page using IIS7. Doesn't work.



Use iFinity FriendlyURL module:

Cannot install this. The wizard stalls at the "This package does not appear to be a valid DotNetNuke Extension as it does not have a manifest". So you choose "not skin/container", click Next, then you just come back to the same page, going round and round in circles and never installing!



Create a Default.aspx DNN page and create it as a redirect to new area home page.

Doesn't work - the error message is "This is not a valid page name".



I've spent like 3 days on this trivial problem now. How can this simple thing be acheived?



By the way please don't tell me to create a child portal - all my content is already created. I can't go through the pain of creating it all again, and it's ridiculous to have to create an entire new portal just for one folder redirect anyway.
