title: IIS6 redirect all requests to home page
body: <p>I am trying to get all requests to our ASP MVC site to redirect to the home page. We're moving to a new server, so I set up a redirect/bookmark page inside our <code>Home/Index.cshtml</code> file. </p>
  
  <p>I've looked everywhere online and each site I've seen has the same instructions for IIS6: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Right click the web site in IIS Manager and go to "Properties"</li>
  <li>Open up Virtual Directory tab</li>
  <li>Under "The content for this resource should come from:" select "A redirection to a URL"</li>
  <li>Paste the URL in the window </li>
  <li>Under "The client will be sent to:" select "The exact URL entered above" checkbox.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Since I want the user to be redirected to the home page, I pasted the home page link in the window for step 4: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><a href="http://insideapps.dev.shared.com/Tracking" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://insideapps.dev.shared.com/Tracking</a></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>While I can see the URL change appropriately if I try to navigate to any page within the site, the actual home page itself doesn't come up. Just the error message below: </p>

  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>Per question in the comments the Virtual Directory tab mentioned in step two posted below</p>
