Redirect Plague

Does the new Firefox browser correct the Redirect issues driving me nuts with Chrome?

Is something like this what you mean?
www.example.com?url=www.mozilla.org -> www.mozilla.org
www.example.com?param1=value1&url=www.mozilla.org -> www.mozilla.org
www.example.com?param1=value1&url=www.mozilla.org&param2=value2 -> www.mozilla.org
www.example.com?url=http://www.mozilla.org -> www.mozilla.org
www.example.com?param1=value1&url=http://www.mozilla.org -> www.mozilla.org
www.example.com?param1=value1&url=http://www.mozilla.org&param2=value2 -> www.mozilla.org

Why are my iDevices redirecting me to the App Store?

I hope Apple will get on the bandwagon and help with this issue! When using my iDevices, say on a web site... or even in another application, certain ads seem to be automatically redirecting to the App Store... without any clicks or input from the user.
You'll be surfing the web... and it does seem to happen more on those ad heavy sites... and when the iDevice comes across one of the rogue ads, it just automatically redirects to the App Store showing whatever app the ad was showing.
You don't have to click anywhere, it just seems to HAPPEN.
I don't think the app owner is doing this, and the next statement is totally just MY thought, but I think the ad companies the app owners are hiring to market their apps are doing it.
But, I really hope that Apple takes notice, and decides to help get RID of this problem! It totally makes for a non-Apple experience... and reminds me of Android something feirce. None of us want that.... in fact, thats WHY we put up with (Even embrace) Apples closed-wall system... because things like this DON'T happen. Except, they are happening...
Seems like this has been going on for a few months. And its on up to date devices, including the new iPhones and iPads. Simply saying, its not on jailbroken devices... and, I've talked to MANY users that experience the same thing.
SO, Apple, will you help please? And other users experiencing this... take the time to reply to this post saying so. Apple has a great track record with these kinds of things, so I know that a fix will come... soon... if we all tell our experiences.
THANKS.

I will absolutely try this-- did you post this info because you KNOW it helps with THIS specific issue, or was it just general help info?
Either way it's worth a shot- but I'm wondering if this issue was noticeable by you and this is what fixed it... Or are you just an Apple whiz kid and posting info that MIGHT possibly or probably help?? Just clarification please.
Ultimately I would hope that apple does something specifically about this. Because amateur users surely won't know to do this. And, I'm really an apple power user, or so I think, and this issue has been plaguing my iOS devices.
Thanks. Your post has already been helpful. But, I won't say it's a fix just yet. And even if it is, can't or won't apple do something on their end so this doesn't even happen at all?
Again thanks!!

Windows 7 64 bit and X-Fi XtremeGamer - Bass Redirection Not Working (No Subwoofer)

SWindows 7 64 bit and X-Fi XtremeGamer - Bass Redirection Not Working (No Subwoofer)% Greetings,
Today I ugraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit edition and am having a problem with my 5. surround sound that previously worked perfectly in Windows Vista Ultimate.
I am using an X-Fi XtremeGamer PCIe card and the problem is that I have full working surround sound, but the bass/ subwoofer isn't working.
Previously in Vista I enabled bass redirection in the Creative Console and this would make the subwoofer work. In Windows 7 in the console there is a bass redirection option but it doesn't work. Also in the Creative Audio Control panel there is NO option for bass redirection either.
Audio sounds tinny and I am 99.9% everything is set up correctley, I think this is a driver problem. At this moment I'm unsure if this issue plagues both the 32bit and 64bit versions of Windows 7 or just the 64bit version (since the console launcher is 32bit).
Anyone had a similar problem and cracked it's Apart from this small glitch Windows 7 is great!
Thanks!

WRe: Windows 7 64 bit and X-Fi XtremeGamer - Bass Redirection Not Working (No Subwoofer)h heya, I have exactly the same problem.
running 64-bit windows 7, X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card, Trust 5. speakers.
the bass used to work in XP because I could enable bass redirection and alter crossover frequency.
these options are now no longer available in the windows 7 drivers (.4.90) and my bass is not working at all.
it is very annoying, there has been no comment from creative than i can find because it only appears to happen to a small percentage of speakers.
basically if someone from creative can't help fix the problem,?people with this problem?will unfortunately be forced to purchase a different brand of sound card because my speakers certainly aren't broken and work with the on-board sound fine.
so if anyone else has the same problem or any advice on how to fix the problem, please comment.

How can I get Google through Firefox to stop redirecting my search requests to commercial information providers?

As a typical example that has been plaguing me for months, I asked on Google for information about "crystal sets" and was shown the usual list of possible sources. When I clicked on the Wikipedia entry for this subject I was redirected to the commercial Tazinga site telling me where I could buy a crystal set in my area. This never happens when I go into Google through Internet Explorer on my desktop, but more than fifty percent of the time does when I go to it through Firefox. Notably, it never happens when I use Google through Firefox on my laptop. What setting or other means can I use to avoid this problem?

IIS 7.5 URL Rewrite: Hit specific page of a web application but should be redirected to another application's page

I have deployed 2 different web application on IIS 7.5 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 but on different port numbers i.e. one application deployed on port no. 1776 and another on 8091. I want to rewrite URL in such a way that if i hit any page of first
application such as default.aspx then it will be redirected to particular page of another application along with some changes in url.
Example: if i access any page from first application like:
http://g2wv126rbsc:1776/sites/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default1.aspx
then it should redirect to specific page of another application along with some changes in url:
http://g2wv126rbsc:8091/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default2.aspx
Note: In above mentioned url, also removed "sites".
I tried to create a inbound rule through URL Rewrite module (installed on IIS 7.5) by selecting Action as "Rewrite" but didn't find any success.
I need some examples if anyone has come across same kind of issue.
Thanks in advance.

How to pen new window while redirecting to a page

Hi,
I have a jsppage 1,jsppage 2 and aspPage. In jsp2 I am getting the
values from jsp1 using request.getParameter("hhhh").Once I get
all values in jsp2 , as soon as I got the values I need to redirect to asp from jsp2.
I don't have any form or any button in jsp2.When I do submit in jsp1,
immediately it has to open asp page in new window. My question is how
I open the asp in new window in this redirection case .....?.
I tried this way but not working ...
WebsiteUtils.sendRedirect(request,response,window.open("ASP page"));
I know if I have submit button in jsp2 I can write a javascriptfunction
to opennew window but here the case is different....
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks

On jsppage1, instead of using a from submit button, you can create abutton and write th onClick as
<input type="button" value="OK" onClick="window.open('jsppage2.jsp','win2');">
Now in Jsppage2.jsp, after doing all the processing, use sendRedirect to call jsppage3.jsp.
Since jsppage2 is never being displayed, page3 will bw the one which will be shown in the new window opened by the name win2 on onClick.
If I have understood your requirement correctly, then this should work for you as I have tried it out.

How can i redirect to with one button to different pages!

Hi All,
For any application, for the first time,if a new table exists then there will no data in that table.
based on this scenerio,in my application,i am handling apex validation staying that "you have no data. Please click here to go Reset symbol page.
when it redirects to Reset symbol i am providing a text box and with a button. Once there enter a symbol and click on button it will inert in that table and again redirects to Home page for say-39.
simillarly what are the functionality available in home page i had implemented same thing but only it differs page no for say-115.
In both the scenerio's i will be redircting reset Symbol page where there can insert a symbol explained in above scenerio case.
My problem is when i am throwing the error msg from page-39 i am redirecting to Reset symbol and when there enter symbol and click on button again i will be redirection t page -39 because the error had came from page-39.
If the same error comes from page-115 then also i will redirecting to same Reset Symbol where there will be entering symbol and click on button, in this case it should redirect to page-115 instead of page-39 because i have got error from page-115 but not from page-39.
How to handle the above scenerio, please help me out.
Thanks in advance,

How can I redirect a URL with aliases or redirect?

Hi all,
I have this partially working on my servers, but am not 100% sure I am doing this corerectly.
Basically I have a Web site domain, let's call it product.com
In server admin I have a site set up called www.product.com under port 80 and another under port 443 for my SSL pages.
Here is my problem: If a customer types "product.com" in their favorite Web browser address bar, I would very much like the server to automatically redirect them (if that's the correct term) to "www.product.com" Currently they would end up on http://product.com/index.html when they key in the URL without the "www" I am concerned this is hurting my SEO and Google analytics as well as being an issue internally for PHP pages that are coded to the "www" addresses.
I also have a sign-in page for my clients at the address: http://www.product.com/lib/app/auth/authenticate.php. When a client types "signin.product.com" I want them to go to that long URL for the sign-in page. I have gotten this to work by setting up a new Site in Server Admin > Web > Sites named "signin.product.com" which then has a single entry on the redirect tab with the URL of the signin page above. Not sure if that could have been done on the core Web site (www.product.com) or if that was the way I should do it under Server Admin or if there is an easier way to do it.
Primarily I want to be able to handle redirecting any type of subdomain "xxx.product.com" to another address. The primary one I want to deal with now is the "product.com" redirecting to "www.product.com"..... Should I just set up another Web site in Server Admin with a redirect like I did for "signin.product.com"?
Any advice on doing proper redirection appreciated.
-- Jon

There are so many ways you could do this. You need to pick what's right for you.
Some of the options are available through the GUI. Many more are available once you get under the hood and drive Apache directly. Your skill and comfort level will undoubtedly influence which path you take.
At the first level, Apache groups sites together by the hostname used to access the site.
If you want 'www.product.com' to go to the same place as product.com you could create one site with an alias, so that Apache uses the same 'site' configuration for both hostnames.
If you want the two hostnames to do different things then you could create two sites - in this case 'www.product.com' has the full, normal site and 'product.com' has a redirect to the equivalent page on 'www.product.com'.
Within www.product.com you can also setup selective redirects to the HTTPS site. This will ensure that things like the login form are accessed securely. In this way your HTTPS site is another 'site' in Apache with the SSL configuration.
One caveat in your post is the use of 'signin.company.com'. You don't describe your network, but if you have only 1 public IP address then this is going to be an issue since you cannot easily run multiple SSL sites on a single IP address - you'll need a different public IP address for each SSL site. This is because the SSL negotiation occurs before Apache knows what site the request is for, and therefore it doesn't know which SSL certificate to use for the connection.
So, in general, you'll create one site for each variation in your web setup - one for 'www.product.com/port 80', one for 'www.product.com/port 443', one for 'product.com/80' (which redirects to 'www.product.com'), and so on.

Using a variable in Struts config, to redirect

In the struts-config file,
to redirect to a different site, I can use
redirect="true"
and mention full path, in my <forward path=
variable.
1. Is there a better way to do it?
2. Since I have to do it in multiple places, is it possible to use a variable? I mean, something like this
<forward
name="success"
path="URL/abc.html" />
Where URL is a variable name that the site path? This way, I can reuse the variable to redirect to other pages too (xyz.html, for example)

Hi there,
I don't know...is there only one URL you are using ore are there more than one? Because if it's the same path everytime you can try using this:
<forward
name="success"
path="./abc.html" />
./ // This is the shortcut for the directory you are currently using.
../ // This is the shortcut for the directory above the one you are currently using.This code should do it. If not, try to create a var named for example "vpath" and put it like this:
<forward
name="success"
path=vpath+"abc.html" />Try and tell if it worked ;)

How do I NOT get automatically redirected to www04.sub.su.se:#### when typing a certain address in the address field which has worked well until today (still works well in IE).

There are some databases/sites that I have access to when having an IP number on university campus or with a proxy. This worked well in firefox until today. When trying to visit those pages the addresses automatically change a second or two after pressing enter to something like: http://www04.sub.su.se:###/ combined with showing random webpages in the window. This seems to be something associated with firefox since I still have access to the pages in internet explorer.
For example:
If I write http://www.isiknowledge.com/ the address changes to http://www04.sub.su.se:2133/cgi-bin/[email protected].
If I want to get to scholar.google.se I get redirected to http://www04.sub.su.se:2087/
When wanting to visit http://pubs.acs.org/about.html I will end up here: http://www04.sub.su.se:2110/about.html
This problem only occurs on services where I in normal case can get access to articles in scientific journals. I have not encountered this problem in other cases/websites.
I have tried to scan my laptop for viruses with Symantec Endpoint Protection and SuperAntiSpyware 4.45.1000. But nothing suspicious was found.

Folder redirection to a new location is not working

Currently in SCM we have all Windows 8 users Documents and Desktop redirected to a users home folder in a Netapp share. We are planning on moving them to a Windows File Server. As a test I moved my home folder in AD to the new share. But
SCM is still redirecting my Documents and Desktop to the old share. I also tried excluding my user account from the user collection used for Folder Redirection. Created a user collection and configuration item just for my account and SCM is still
trying to redirect to the old share.
Help please
Thanks

I have created a user collection with my id as a test user and also under user data and user profiles I created a user data and profiles configuration item under Folder redirection. For Desktop and documents I selected REdirect to remote and for configure
folder redirection path I checked Redirect to the users home folder . In Active Directory I made the new Windows Server share my home directory.
Thanks

ITunes losing all music and won't redirect to correct folder

Hi there,
This morning, iTunes has lost all my music. The whole library has the little exclamation mark. Using the 'Find info' comand, I can see that iTunes is looking for them in the music folder of my internal drive. However, they've always been kept on an external drive, and when I redirect iTunes to an individual track in it's correct location, and it asks me if I'd like to use the location to find the other missing files, it fails to correct the location of the rest. I am getting this message: “iTunes was able to find 1 of 18083 missing files.” Rather frustrating...
I'm using iTunes 10, on OS 10.7.3
I have the correct iTunes media folder indicated in the advanced preferences tab.
In case it's relevant, I'm also syncing with a new iPhone 4s, which I've only had for about 3 weeks, though in terms of audio, I only sync recently added albums + podcasts.
And an additional odd behaviour that I noticed this morning was that in my iTunes Media folder, outside of the Music folder, several artist folders had appeared, each containing an album folder and one or several songs from that album, the rest of which were all in their normal locations inside the Music folder, minus the tracks in the newly-appeared folders. All very odd.
Thanks for any help,
Emma

I have finally solved this issue. Here is the solution:
1. Open iTunes
2. Select Music
3. In the upper right hand corner select Albums.
4. Under "All Albums" highlight the first album, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, hold down the shift key and select the last album.
5. All albums should now be selected.
6. Place the cursor over one of the albums. Press with 2 fingers on the trackpad to bring up the menu.
7. Select "Check All"
8. Congratulations - no more grayed out songs and they will sync now.
9. Go into your iPhone sync and check the songs you want to transfer and click the sync button.
I hope this helps you to resolve your issue.

Microsoft-Windows-Folder Redirection Error 502. CSC database locked by another user

Dear all,
We are finalizing our Windows 7 migration where we migrated 500+ clients. In our enterprise concept we implemented RUP (Roaming User Profiles) and Redirected Folders for all
users. The Redirected Folders have been by enabled by a single GPO which redirects all folders from
AppData to
Searches \\servername.domain.name\documents$\%username%.
Problem:
The RUP and Redirected folders solution works fine until a new user wants to logon. This new user has been migrated to RUP and Redirected on another system and
he just wants to work on another workplace or gets a temporary pc. What happens is that redirected folders do not work. The user gets a message that the folder is not reachable and desktop is empty.
Troubleshooting:
Soon I found out that something was being locked. If we used a user account which had working Redirect Folders than this
worked for that user. An event of 10 was logged in OfflineFiles area of EventViewer to reconnect the path which was configured in the GPO.
This is example screenshot. It says "Error on Open Folder. \\server.domain.name\documents$\%username%\Desktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard disk
on this computer, or a on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
These symptoms happen randomly and not on all workstations. The pain here is when it happens on a portable computer. For desktop we disabled the "Disable Offline Files' in "Manage
Offline Files" control panel and then reboot. After the reboot the folders are directed
and it works without these errors... On portable computer we can't use this work around as they need to work offline.
If I connect to the share without the FQDN like \\servername\documents$\%username%\Desktop than this works fine and user can access all folders. When I try the FQDN path which is
configured in the GPO to redirect user to like \\servername.domain.name\documents$\%username%\Desktop than it fails with this message. I personally think because the C:\Windows\CSC database is locked by the previous user who has been logged on this system.
An example of the event generated in the Applications Event viewer part (I removed some username and server path):

I have tried all different option even to rebuild the CSC database but this also was not helping. I hope we are not dealing with a bug.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards, Ivan Versluis http://www.networknet.nl

Ivan and SteveDIG - Thanks for taking the time to post detailed information about what you have found. I have found the same things over the past few months and have been working with Microsoft to resolve this. Like Ivan, I have been told by
MS that this is a design problem in Windows 7, but they did admit it is a bug and did not charge me for the case. That was the good news. The bad news was that the problem is so 'deep' in Windows 7 that it will not be fixed until Windows 8 and
the CSC engineering team in Redmond has rejected several requests to fix this issue in Windows 7 from several customers. I personally feel we should have hauled our TAM in over this, but that wasn't my call so we haven't attempted to get an attitude
change from MS.
<RANT> I find this completely outrageous. Windows is supposed to be a multi-user operating system suitable for deployment to mobile workforces spread around the world and often using slow VPN links. Offline folders, folder redirection,
slow link detection, etc. are all great on paper and as I did the design work for the W7 solution I've just built I sold these advantages heavily. I now have serious egg on my face and am not happy. Like others here I missed this in testing as
multiple users are a fringe for us, but still important, I unfortunately didn't think to specifically test for multiple users, though I tested the features thoroughly and was happy with the results when used on single user machines.</RANT>
As identified above, this issue manifests when more than one user uses a machine and their Offline folders (all redirected folders are configured this way by default) are in an offline state when the first user logs off. The second user cannot access
this 'offline' share so folder redirection fails. We get burnt as we have latency=0 configured for slow link detection with Offline folders so users always work offline. This is partly because of WAN optimisers in the network that lie to Windows
so the online/offline transition doesn't work on slow links (not MS's fault), and partly because it made sense for other reasons.
The workaround Microsoft and I came up with for our environment was to use individual file shares for each user. We had been using a common file share with each user folder under that file share. Changing to an individual share for each users
means the share is not locked by the previous user.
Examples
This would cause a problem if John then Emma logged on to the same machine. Folder redirection would fail for Emma:
\\FileServer1\Users$\john
\\FileServer1\Users$\emma
So would this if DFS was used
\\my.domain\users\john (points to \\FileServer1\Users$\John)
\\my.domain\users\emma (points to \\FileServer1\Users$\Emma)
This would fix the problem:
\\FileServer1\John$
\\FileServer1\Emma$
Unfortunately we then figured we could move these shares behind DFS like so:
\\my.domain\homes\john (points to \\FileServer1\John$)
\\my.domain\homes\emma (points to \\FileServer1\emma$)
This was wrong. The problem returned. I assume the share that is being locked is now the DFS root and not the user share.
The operations team here is very reluctant to go with direct access to the file servers and not use DFS as that will create issues for them in the future when they need to make file server changes. I sympathise with them but can't see an alternative
at the moment as we are deploying W7 and can't stop. If I'd picked this up earlier a third party product might have been the solution (MS actually suggested this when I opened my case).
I hope the information about individual shares above is helpful to someone. Otherwise I don't really have more to add but I needed the rant :-)
<RANT>BTW. Has anyone tested changing a user’s home directory path once it is cached? Try it. Test a scenario where you move the user from one file server to another. You will not enjoy the results. I'll say no more
than this as it is off topic, but it shows the lack of investment in the CSC feature in Windows. Very disappointing</RANT>

Migrating Users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 Without redirection through exchange 2013.

We have all our users and mailboxes on Exchange 2007 and I have introduced two Exchange 2013 servers in my organization and both have mailbox and CAS server installed on them.
With Exchange 2007 server, I had not modified any of the internal and external url/uri and had stayed with the defaults.
For migration most of the documents are suggesting of changing the default internal URL and Auto Discover Service internal URI values.
In my case, I want to migrate all the users and mailbox (everything that is on Exchange 2007) form 2007 to 2013 and decommission exchange 2007 completely from our organization.
I am in the phase of transferring users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 and do not want to change any settings on the existing 2007 servers.
I have created new dns entry mailx.abc.com with two IPs of both exchange 2013 and changed the Outlook Anywhere internal URL on both Exchange 2013 server to mailx.abc.com.
So by doing these, I think all existing clients will still connect to exchange 2007 and after moving their mailbox they will be connect to exchange 2013.
In short I am not redirecting or using 2013 as proxy for 2007 clients and clients whose mailbox is on exchange 2013 will directly connect to 2013 server.
Questions are, Is this the right way to migrate all the users to Exchange 2013?
Will it affect the operation of existing Exchange 2007 server?

Read the below blog on Client Connectivity in Exchange co-existence. There can't be better blog than this on this topic.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx
Clients connect to Exchange from Internal-Outlook, External-Outlook, Web & Active Sync.
For Internal the configuration that you have mentioned should work as clients would get Autodiscover information from Active Directory (SCP) and get connected to right server.
However, for external connectivity it makes sense to use External URL on Exchange 2013 servers (keep the Exchange exposed to Internet), configure legacy URL for exchange 2007 and use Exchange 2013 external URL for mailboxes that are Exchange 2007 and Exchange
2013 for standardization.

SAP EP - How to redirect in case of a reqest for a non-existent portal pag

Hello,
I am not 100% sure if this is the right forum to ask my question but I will give it a try anyway.
I would like to customize the error handling of the SAP EP 6.0 in the following way. If a user tries to access a page of the portal that does not exist, the user should receive an error page describing the problem occured and should be redirected to the homepage after a short period of time.
In a portal environment with default configuration the user would immediately be redirected to the homepage. There is no error message displayed.
Does anyone know where to start digging? I think I need a better understanding of SAP EP error handling. I appreciate all answers, hints and suggestions.
Cheers
Martin

Hi guys,
I am sorry to start discussion on that topic again. But I definitely need some help. Due to Samuli's help I have been able to modify the error handling of the portal in the following way.
Customization:
User attempts to access a wrong url within the portal (e.g. http://<portal_server>:50000irjportalwrongurl). Instead of the standard "404 the requested resource is not available" error page I see my own error page. That's nice.
What did I do:
I added the following lines to the portal's web.xml (/usr/sap/J2E/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-infweb.xml):
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/customerrors/404.html</location>
</error-page>
Additionally, I created a the 404.html file and put it in folder (/usr/sap/J2E/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/customerrors/.
What else?
Well, I am using KM to make files accessible through the EP platform. If I access a KM file via the portal (http://<portal_server>:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/Public%20Documents/Testfile.txt)an extra window opens and shows me the content of the file. In case I enter a wrong url (e.g. http://<portal_server>:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/Public%20Documents/wrong_file_name.txt)I see the standard "404 The requested resource is not available" error page. But I want to see my customized error page.
How to
I think I have to modify the web.xml of the KM the same way I did for the portal. But I do not know where to find the KM web.xml? Please could someone advise me where to look?
I appreciate all kinds of help!
