I have configured a website in IIS with a virtual directory. (applicationHost.config file is given below )
<application path="/" applicationPool="TestMovieSearch">
<virtualDirectory path="/moviesearch" physicalPath="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\fullmovielist" />
</application>
I am using URLRewrite to redirect user to a specific html page. I have the below webconfig file placed in this path.
Path : C:\inetpub\wwwroot\fullmovielist
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Catch all for movie search redirection">
<match url="/" negate="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/MovieSearch/action/movies.html" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
When I tried the URL http:\localhost\MovieSearch, its properly getting redirected to movies.html page. I just need to know how the web.config file matches with virtual directory and
properly redirect to movies.html page.
Note: I am a newbie to web.config file. So any help would be appreciated.
According to my understanding, you don’t need a rewrite rule, but you want to know how this rewrite rule works, is that right?
I guess there is also an action folder in your fullmovielist folder, which contains movies.html. (If not, it is the application of the MVC structure you are using.)
If you want to know how the url matches the rule and rewrites to new one, it is better to use fail request tracing.
http://localhost/moviesearch,the part of "/moviesearch" match the "/" and rewrite to http://localhost/moviesearch/action/movies.html.
You can know more rules and ways about url rewrite from document.

I have an asp page as part of of web application hosted on IIS8. I would like to set up http redirection from this page to another aspx page within the same site.Isn't there a straightforward setting I can use in IIS? I've looked at http redirect and url rewrite with little luck.
Requests to
http://localhost/example.asp
needs to be redirected to
http://localhost/example.aspx
I figured it out. I was missing the URL Rewrite module.It can be downloaded here.Once you download, install the url rewrite module and it will look like this.Open the feature and add the rule.
Once you add a new rule it will show up in the web.config file under system.webserver tags or you can add it to the web.config file directly.
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="asp_to_aspx" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^example.asp$" />
<action type="Redirect" url="http://localhost/example.aspx" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
My IIS setup has one site, bound to a domain. Let's call it: www.mydomain.com
The site folder itself is empty. This site hosts multiple applications and virtual directories. One of the applications is 'portal'.
What I want to do is accept any incoming request for www.mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com/ and redirect it to: www.mydomain.com/portal
I've got ARR and URL Rewrites up and running. I'm just not sure how to configure them for this.
A redirection rule like below will work.
Put the following web.config file to your web site's root folder. Or, update the existing one if you have.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="toPortal" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^$" />
<action type="Redirect" url="/portal" redirectType="Found" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
You may want look at this tutorial to learn how to create url rewrite rules with IIS Manager. These xml nodes are not coming from my brain too.
Hi I have a site that used to have a separate mobile side which had links indexed by google. I’ve now changed that to a responsive design. I’m on a shared server so I have to do this redirect through URL Rewrite, is there any way that I can redirect anything and everything that comes after the /mobile/ subfolder that used to exist to its equivalent in a root folder with one rule. So that the following would happen:
Domain.com/mobile -> domain.com
Domain.com/mobile/folder1/page1/variable -> domain.com/folder1/page1/variable
Domain.com/mobile/folder1/page2/variable -> domain.com/folder1/page2/variable
Domain.com/mobile/folder2/page1/variable -> domain.com/folder2/page1/variable
Domain.com/mobile/folder2/page2/variable -> domain.com/folder2/page2/variable
That would look something like the following in your web.config (basicall match all "root" requests that start with mobile/ and redirect to the equivalent (using a 301 which is the right one for SEO purposes):
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect mobile" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^mobile/(.*)$" />
<action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I am playing with URL rewrite in IIS 7
The behaviour I want is when someone types in
[http://localhost/Sales]
they get redirected to [http://localhost/SalesDemo]
but they still see [http://localhost/Sales] in the browser URL
Is this possible?
The best way to achieve that would be to use Rewrite Maps in URL Rewrite Module.
Alternatively you could add rewrite section to your web.config file.
Web.config example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite rule">
<match url="^Sales$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="SalesDemo" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Please note that the action type needs to be Rewrite (and not Redirect) if you still want to see /Sales in your browser.
I hope that will help.
I have the following url rewrite code in my web.config
I want to forward anything .htm to the brand.aspx.
so if anyone type in
test1.htm
test2.htm
test3.htm
would go to the brand.aspx. However, the following url rewrite would work if there is an actual file call "test1.htm" in the server, then it will redirect to the brand.aspx. If there is no file exists, it will just return 404 instead of redirect to the brand.aspx. Does anybody know why? thanks a lot.
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="test" stopProcessing="false">
<match url="(.*)\.htm$" ignoreCase="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="brand.aspx" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
