Easiest way to redirect?

[oboeguy]

So I own the domain name for a student-run group at my university (I'm back to full-time "grad student" status ). Anyhow, a pal used to host the site from his office but he's left school so I had the group get hosting from GoDaddy. The funny part is that the university is perfectly willing to provide space but will not allow the domain to point to said space (reasonable, IMO). The site is running from the U's space while the hosting is being worked out. For a temporary fix, what's the easiest way to put a dummy page on the GoDaddy hosting account which will redirect to the university's hosting? (nobody has the time to move everything over and test it, plus some things might change, etc) TIA.

copy/paste this into notepad, save as index.php

Thanks, I'll give it a go. I learned some basic PHP about a year ago and years before was decent with ASP so I figured it was something simple. Thanks again!

So it turns out the server was ASP-based. The solution was <% Response.Redirect("http://www.site.com") %>, i.e. basically the same thing.

It should also be possible to set up something a little bit smarter, like if they request http://yourdomain.com/foo/bar.asp you redirect them to http://university.com/yourspace/foo/bar.asp. I'm not sure how to accomplish that on IIS though (apache only).

Meh, it's a temporary fix anyway, doesn't have to be smart.
