This is a one domain, one cart license installation. To buy additional licenses for additional carts contact sales: sales@compunix.us

Installation Instructions

1) Install the Admin Compunix Add-on menu and add the following line into the add-on links section specified:

Carts up to MS9420:

cRoot.ChildItems.Add(GetMenuItem("301 Redirect Instructions", "301RInstall", "http://documentation.ecommercecartmods.com/301Redirect.aspx", "_blank"));

Carts MS9500 and newer:

<li><a href="http://documentation.ecommercecartmods.com/301Redirect.aspx" target="_blank">301 Redirect instructions</a></li>

2) Copy the CompunixCommon.dll downloaded from the Code Base link into /bin directory.

3) Upload the license file/appconfig to your cart. (If you don't have a license send an email support@compunix.us with your order number and domain information.)

4) Copy the files from the "Modified files" directory in the .zip file to your website's root folder. (If your admin directory is not "admin", you may have to copy any files in the admin directory manually.)

5) Open your web.config and update the 404 page entry from PageNotFound.aspx to 301Redirect.aspx

6) To setup the IIS, navigate to IIS and edit the Custom Error pages on your website.

Update the 404 error page to the /301Redirect.aspx and set it to "Execute" mode

Alternativelly edit the web.config file as following:

    <system.webServer>
		<!--
		The customErrors section in the web.config only tells ASP.NET how to handle errors. 
		On IIS7 and later, it has its own separate custom error pages. 
		If these are not configured correctly, the ASP.NET custom errors won't be shown. 
		Additionally, configuring IIS custom errors allows the error pages to be shown for content not handled by ASP.NET (for example, 404's on images).

		At a minimum, in order to ensure the custom ASP.NET error pages are shown, the following must be added:-->
    <!-- <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" /> -->
    <httpErrors errorMode="Custom" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL" existingResponse="Auto">
      <remove statusCode="404" />
      <error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/301Redirect.aspx" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
    </httpErrors>

7) Once logged into the cart as admin navigate directly to www.domain.com/301Redirect.aspx and setup the from/to URLs.

URLs should be relative, for example "page.html" rather than "http://wwww.yoursite.com/page.html"
