Hello Guys,

I wonder if someone could help me with following web page redirection rule. I am not much more familiar with F5 product, please help me out with my following request.

I want to redirect one of our web page… example,

www.abc.com.au to

www.abc.com.au/abconline/HomePage.aspx

I have written following irule but does not seem to be working for me.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [HTTP::host] equals “www.abc.com.au” }

{

HTTP::redirect “ABC News & Headlines – Australian Broadcasting Corporation”}

}

I’m using following IOS on my F5:

BIG-IP 9.3.0 Build 187.3…

Hope to hear soon.

Ta,

Hi,

Here you will redirect any request done on the website www.abc.com.au on this page: www.abc.com.au/abconline/HomePage.aspx

Any request done on the website www.abc.com.au will contain this value in the HTTP host header.

If you want to redirect only when user are typing http://www.abc.com.au in their browser you should try the following:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { ([HTTP::host] equals “www.abc.com.au”) and ([HTTP::uri] equals “/”) } {

HTTP::redirect “ABC News & Headlines – Australian Broadcasting Corporation”}

}

Hi ,

Thanks for your quick response… I have done whatever you have mentioned above but still does not seem to be working. I am not sure how to get log files and how to debug one irule. Your suggestion will be appreciated.

I would like to know that where would I apply this IRULE? Do I need to apply to Virtual Server or somewhere else ? I have got couple of virtual servers but I’m not sure where do I need to apply this rule?

I am very much new with this product and don’t know much more about it…
