Introducing the MOSS URL Redirector

Are you migrating from a legacy website to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS)? Do you dread dealing with all of those legacy URL addresses in your old Website — or at least the most important ones?

 

SectorPoint has developed a free MOSS URL Redirector. This is a custom application that takes the dread out of those annoying “404 error” sometimes encountered when trying to access an old Website.

 

URLs can be either a file-based path for example:

  • /ceosearch/qualifications.htm

or a parameter based path for example:

  • /apps/page.asp?q=123

to redirect to any relative MOSS URL for example:

  • /ceosearch/pages/qualifactions.aspx

or redirect to a completely separate fully qualified URL for example:

  • http://www.acmeceosearch.org

 

All URL redirections are declared in a SharePoint List. The actual “404 error” page displayed (when there is no match to a valid location or redirection entry) is a MOSS Publishing Page so it can be tailored as needed.
