I just launched a new site for a small company. The old site was all on ASP. I have path redirect installed and noticed that it wasn't working, figured something was wrong with installation or etc - but I then realized that the 301 redirects have been working for pdf files. So I was curious, I changed sites from e.g. example.com/AboutUs.asp to example.com/AboutUs.html, and I went from getting 404 errors (with .asp ending) to a successful 301 redirect.

Is there a way I can remedy this problem with the module? Get the .asp pages to redirect properly? Thanks for any help.

Ok a strange addition, perhaps relevant in some way:

When entering in the "From", I get an error box every time I enter a .asp ending:

"An HTTP error 404 occurred.
http://www.example.com/admin/build/path-redirect/autocomplete"

No such error box appears for other endings, including made-up ones such as .asq.

If this is some known functionality I apologize, but I'm a bit confused as to the problem here.

Changing to closed - It is entirely a server problem.

Can you tell me what the server problem was? I'm running into the same thing.

I'd love to know as well - I figure it's something that needs to be fixed in htaccess or httpd.conf in order to make sure that Drupal handles non-PHP files, but I'm not sure where to start! If either of you found a solution, please post.
