How to Redirect MICC Default web page without breaking

[HungryHippo]

Im trying to get the MICC default page that shows  "Windows Server" and "Internet Information Service". I want to hide it so that if they access micc page using the fqdn name only without adding ignite or ccmweb. It gets redirected to either Ignite or just say forbidden.

Any Idea about how to do that. I tried to do the http redirect and have it go to ignite but it ends up like looping.

FWIW, have a software repo on my machine and I copied the Mitel redirect off of a MBG i.e. home/e-smith/files/i-bays/Primary/index.html to the wwwroot. Edited it to only have the head portion with the redirect to /SWrepo. Renamed the iisstart.htm to iisstart.old.

Browsed to localhost and was redirected to /SWrepo

Further expanding on what Johnp has said.

By default the is no index.html file in C:\inetpub\wwwroot which is the default directory served by IIS.

You could create an index.html file there with the below contents that will redirect to ignite. Having an index.html file will take precedence over the iisstart.htm, but you can rename that if you like as well. Best to create the index.html file somewhere else and copy it to the wwwroot directory as you will need admin rights to do so.

Code: [Select]

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url='/Ignite" />
You can do whatever you want in the index.html so if you want it to say forbidden you could do that as well.

FWIW, when I tested this, adding the index.html file did not immediately make this change although it appears to have presedence. Might have been a cache issue, but renaming the Microsoft default can hurt IMHO.
