Permanent redirect IPB forum hosted in Windows IIS to a sub domain(Linux)

[Muthu99]

Whats the best method of redirecting my Old Forum all the contents (hosted in IIS) to New Forum contents (hosted in Apache linux)

Example:

Old : http://www.xxxx.com/forum/index.php?/topic/13449-how-to-clean-corolla-111-cristal-lightswhere/


New : http://forum.xxxx.com/topic/13449-how-to-clean-corolla-111-cristal-lightswhere/


I tried to do it using an .htaccess file but seems like it's not working in Windows IIS server.

Then I tried using a web.config file, but it gives an error when I place it in the root.

Guys what is the best way to do the above task? and If you can I have a working redirect code for the above task?


Thanks,
Muthu
