Redirecting frontpage, Firefox runs fine. IE getting 403

**guru898rider** · 07-24-2005, 06:10 PM

I am currently maintaining my site and i moved all the old stuff to old-site/ subfolder.
used META Tag.
here is the most important line
<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' content='0,http://404.bizhat.com/old-site/'>
by redirecting, i don't need to see millions of folder and images. simply one folder. however whenever I try to see it in IE by simply trying to go to 404.bizhat.com. i get 403 forbidden. wonder did the admin set it like this or i did something wrong.

What do you mean? You can see Your files if you don't have an index.html or some sort of one.

What are you trying to do a directory Project or something?

That meta tag will redirect you to a page, try and type in the 404.bizhat.com/page.html or which ever extension.
And then it should work.
And probably make sure that you don't have any Text in your file that you are directing from.
I use the same code in my Email System.
Works fine for me. :P

im trying to redirect it to another page.
when u go to http://404.bizhat.com/ it displays the index.html
within index.html
i use the <meta http-quiv="refresh" content="blah, blah"> to redirect it to http://404.bizhat.com/wordpress/ which is my blog
it works in firefox, but not IE.

This is what I have in my email thing.

Code:

<html><head><META http-equiv='refresh' content='0;URL=thankz.htm'></head><body></body></html>

by changing the URL= to relative address solved the problem
original is URL=http://404.bizhat.com/old-site/
now is URL=old-site/
YEA!!!! :D :D :D

I like the old site, fix it up a little bit and it will be cool :D

**guru898rider** · 07-26-2005, 08:36 PM

haha. how do u like my blog though?
the old site is wayyy too hard to maintain nowadays
esp. i wrote all thsoe codes without thinking about struction and didn't use css as much. therefore a lot of the codes are redundant.
if i have time i will try to fix it up and keep it under old-site/ or archive.
i actually spend a while just customizing the blog. hope more people will come to visit
