  Http Redirect from single file Reply Contact When using the UI I am able to select a single file in the root of the default web site and make a Http Redirect to some folder/site. I am trying to do this with appcmd but without luck. One try was this C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd set config "Default Web Site/default.htm" /section:httpRedirect /enabled:true /destination:http://www.contoso.com Thanks in advance :)

  Re: Http Redirect from single file Reply Contact Since the configpath you are configuring is a file, we cannot create a web.config file under it.  So, you need to add an appropriate commitpath to the appcmd command (-commitpath:apphost to commit to applicationhost.config or -commitpath:"Default Web Site" to commit to web.config for default-web-site).
