As usual, if you wanted to be a real help you could, but you would rather be a smartass than helpful.

*Me* be a smartass? I don't remember making any smartass remarks; I don't remember ignoring people's advice; I don't remember writing:

Because it was in plain English.

Unless of course you don't speak it or read it then it may be hard to understand.

If that had worked I wouldn't have asked the question. Plus after thinking I need to push something to a different server on a different port on the same machine.

Here is the redirect webpage code I use for redirects:

meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="2;
url=http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm"

the content is the seconds, the url= is the page you want to be redirected to
goes under head and before /head

Yes, because it says everything and should be easy to understand by anyone with an ounce of comprehension.

What the hell does this mean: "I want that types in one of the urls to go to the subdirectory for that specific site." ?

You can't even comprehend what you write yourself. Claiming it "should be easy to understand" doesn't make it so.

You choose (IMHO) the smartest guy on this group to slag off, and in doing so you cheapen your arguments immediately.
It does not help you to abuse the un-hired help in this way, or in fact, in any way.

Well the "smartest guy in the group" does not have to be an asshole, it's a legitimate question and if I hadn't tried most of those methods already, I still wouldn't be asking it.

Thanks

Firstly I cannot see any instance of Mike being an asshole.
Secondly, if you don't volunteer what methods you have tried, expect people to assume you haven't tried anything at all.
Plus you didn't ask the original question, which adds to the problem of following the thread properly.
As was already suggested, I would start a new thread with as much info as possible.

And give Mike the respect he deserves, and understand that if he is a bit short with people sometimes, it is because he answers probably 250 posts a day, free of charge, mostly from people who give insufficient info.

Wouldn't you get a bit pissed off from time to time ?

From a disinterested bystander, he didn't post the first insult, pasted below:

He offered, what I thought, was sound advice.

Then you need some fancy javascript or ASP code running.

I still don't understand - don't you use the HEADERS directive to figure out which site on the IP is being looked at? If not, then of course you've got fits.
