Virtual Directory issue?

[user65]

We have an archive server that stores data from 1998-2009, the server had some hard drives fail and I am trying to get everything set back up. It's a bit difficult as the site was setup before I joined the company.

I was able to get pretty much everything up but what appears to be articles stored within a "/Articles" directory. The new server, including the old hard drives and backup do not contain a physical folder in the root directory called "/Articles."

Is it possible that there was a redirect setup to point to a specific ID? I'm noticing that each article has two different DB ID's.

I am sort of lost as I explained earlier I didn't originally set the site up. It appears all content is available except for any articles that had a URL with "/Articles" included.

Here is an example:
Works Fine - http://archive.frontpa gemag.com/readArticle.asp x?ARTID=36430

Broken URL - http://archive.frontpa gemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp ?ID=19145

The broken URL used to work before the server crashed. And to my knowledge I have restored all databases/website files to the correct locations.

thanks in advance.

OK, sorry to all I am a beginner on the windows side.

I found a Global.asax file that seems to contain the redirects I am looking for. Does anyone know how to reconnect this file into IIS? Or is that what I would need to do?

Here is the file with the redirects:

<%@ Application Language="C#" %>

<script runat="server">

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs on application startup

    }
    
    void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        //  Code that runs on application shutdown

    }
        
    void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
        Exception objErr = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();
        string err = "Error in: " + Request.Url.ToString() +
                          ". Error Message:" + objErr.Message.ToString();
        String myUrl = Request.Url.ToString().ToUpper();

        if (myUrl.EndsWith("/ARTICLES")) Response.Redirect("/" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.EndsWith("/BLOG")) Response.Redirect("/listBlogs.aspx" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.EndsWith("/CONTACT")) Response.Redirect("/contactUs.aspx" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.EndsWith("/LINKS")) Response.Redirect("/listLinks.aspx" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.EndsWith("/SEARCH")) Response.Redirect("/search.aspx" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.EndsWith("/BOOK")) Response.Redirect("/" + Request.QueryString);

        if (myUrl.EndsWith("/ARTICLES/AUTHORSLIST.ASPX")) Response.Redirect("/listAuthors.aspx" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.Contains("/ARTICLES/READ.ASPX?")) Response.Redirect("/readArticle.aspx?" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.Contains("/ARTICLES/PRINTABLE.ASPX?")) Response.Redirect("/printable.aspx?" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.Contains("/ARTICLES/AUTHORS.ASPX?")) Response.Redirect("/bioAuthor.aspx?" + Request.QueryString);
        if (myUrl.Contains("/BLOG/READ.ASPX?")) Response.Redirect("/readBlog.aspx?" + Request.QueryString);
        
        Response.Redirect("errorPage.aspx");

    }

    void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs when a new session is started

    }

    void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs when a session ends. 
        // Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the sessionstate mode
        // is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session mode is set to StateServer 
        // or SQLServer, the event is not raised.

    }
