I was starting to think that no one is using IIS out there.
I think it is 8.5, I only found out because of this Site ignoring htaccess redirects - need IIS web.config
I’m more used to dealing with htaccess, web.config is new to me. I only have FTP access at present, so the web.config file is my only means to set thing up. It looks something like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpRedirect enabled="true" exactDestination="true" httpResponseStatus="Permanent">
<add wildcard="*.html" destination="/" />
</httpRedirect>
<httpErrors>
<remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
<error statusCode="404" path="http://www.example.com/404.shtml" responseMode="Redirect" />
</httpErrors>
</system.webServer>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="http://www.example.com/error.shtml" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
The redirects appear to work, but WMT says they are soft 404s.
