I'm using a shared Windows server at GoDaddy.com, and I'm trying to redirect my mydomain.com to www.mydomian.com

I've been told that I simply need to create a web.config file on my server's root and put this code in it:

Code:
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="Redirect to WWW" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url=".*" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^domainame.com$" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domainame.com/{R:0}"
               redirectType="Permanent" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>


So I tried that, but it's been 24 hours and the redirection didn't work.

My site is written in asp 1.1 and someone suggested I migrate the server to IIS 7 from IIS 6 and then it will use that web.config file. Problem is, I didn't build this website, it was built by a friend and I have very basic knowledge with ASP, and I'm afraid that if I migrate to IIS7, the website will fuck up.

Any suggestions?

Is there a rewrite module installed and enabled?

That's the thing - I don't know, and GoDaddy doesn't know either.

They suck then, it's their webserver isn't it? Do you have a control panel of any sort you can log in to?

I actually just got a tip from one of their dudes saying I need to upgrade the server to IIS7, which I did, but now I cannot upload the web.config file to my root. I get access denied.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Problem solved. I used their file manager and that did the trick.
