I have a simple question which is driving me crazy from the last week: I splitted a big application in "Default Web Site" into single applications grouped by directory so everyone could have his own git repository. So the main root directory is quite empty, just few scripts linked from outasides statically.
All the user point to the root directory, and I would like redirect this pointing to the stable application in /subdir_stable and not showing the user this action. Every application in subfolders have an own prefix beginning from his local and works in every subfolder I put.
So I need two type of action:
- users point to myhostname.local
- action1: get redirect to myhostname.local/subdir_stable
- action2: keep having their urls as myhostname.local
I have achieved the action1 using the url rewrite with this web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="/spot_backend">
<add key="/" value="/spot_backend" />
</rewriteMap>
<rewriteMap name="/">
<add key="/" value="/spot_backend" />
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite rule1 for /">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{/:{REQUEST_URI}}" pattern="(.+)" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="{C:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I don't how to achieve the action2. Any hints?

Currently I have a sub-domain https://blog.example.com which I would like to redirect to https://example.com/blog. I'm using Craft CMS running on IIS 7 server.
I tried the code mentioned below but it didn't work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect blog to new url" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern=".*" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://example.com/blog/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Update: Adding directory structure
The problem seems to be with the condition you have specified. Your current pattern is .* which will result in a infinite loop. Change the pattern to check for the specific URL as below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect blog to new url" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern=".*blog\.example\.com.*" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://example.com/blog/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I tried this and it works for me. Go to http://blog.kaushal.co.in
If you need to troubleshoot URL Rewrite rules, then enable Failed Request tracing for your site. See this for more details: Using Failed Request Tracing to Trace Rewrite Rules
UPDATE
The rewrite rules need to be added to the 117072616095252 present at the site's root "/" and not in a web.config of one of the child folders.
I have a simple wildcard routing rule I want to apply for my Azure web app.
<rule name="MyRule">
<match url="*" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
</rule>
Do I have any option here given I can't RDP into the machine and fiddle with IIS? This is not an ASP.Net website, it's a simple SPA application.
You need to create a web.config file in your wwwroot folder and put the relevant config entries there.
Here's an example of an web.config rule, to give you an idea of what it should look like.
The below example redirect the default *.azurewebsites.net domain to a custom domain (via http://zainrizvi.io/blog/block-default-azure-websites-domain/)
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect rquests to default azure websites domain" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^yoursite\.azurewebsites\.net$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.yoursite.com/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
If simply want all URL's that resolve to this server & site to redirect to index.html you could use this rewrite section:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="SPA">
<match url=".*" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.html" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
This is very similar to what you have except some minor syntax fixes e.g. the pattern should be ".*" and the rewrite URL target simply "index.html".
Note this means that ALL URL's to your site will be rewritten, even for other resources like CSS and JS files, images etc. So you'd better be fetching your resources from other domains.
If you want to do actual rewrites (not redirects), dont forget enabling ARR with applicationHost.xdt file put to the site folder with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<system.webServer>
<proxy xdt:Transform="InsertIfMissing" enabled="true" preserveHostHeader="false" reverseRewriteHostInResponseHeaders="false" />
<rewrite>
<allowedServerVariables>
<add name="HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING" xdt:Transform="Insert" />
<add name="HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_HOST" xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</allowedServerVariables>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I have a website mywebsite.com and installed a cms into a sub folder: mywebsite.com/subfolder
I need to now move the cms to parent folder root and I would like url's to be rewritten automatically so when browsing mywebsite.com/subfolder/page1.php you get redirected to mywebsite.com/page1.php
so far the only suggestions I found were redirecting any request to the root folder. In my case I need to rewrite.
Thanks!
I guess the reason why your question is so old and has not been answered is because it is not clear what you are asking for. Using the IIS7 rewrite module is easy, and I will provide a couple of different examples for what I think you are asking (either or).
So if you would like to "rewrite" urls that are in a subfolder but have them appear as if they were in the root, the following would work -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Root_URL_Rewrite" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/subfolder/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
If however you would like url's in an old folder (say url's that have been indexed by google) to be redirected (as a permanent 301 redirect) you could use the following example -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect_Root_URL" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)subfolder(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<action type="Redirect" url="{R:2}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Or, if like me you stumpled across this page and are wanting to do a rewrite to a subfolder, and then do a permanent 301 redirect from the old subfolder to the root, you might want something more similar to the following -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect_Root_URL" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)subfolder(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<action type="Redirect" url="{R:2}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Root_URL_Rewrite" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{URL}" pattern="^/subfolder/.*" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/subfolder/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I am trying to make frindly URLs using web.config, and it must rewrite from 1 to (possibly) 2 variables and ignore rewrite if it's a directory name. So I have this URL:
http://www.domain.com/2014/ - Where 2014 is a folder.
http://www.domain.com/2014/publications/ - It's one of the possible URLs
http://www.domain.com/2014/publications/news/ - Another possible URL
While the real URLs would be
http://www.domain.com/2014/
http://www.domain.com/2014/?page=publications
http://www.domain.com/2014/?page=publications&subpage=news
I am trying this web.config but I am getting an error 500.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Friendly 2">
<match url="^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/2014/index.php?page={R:1}&subpage={R:2}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!
I basically want to match the exact address
http://www.example.com/mysite
and redirect it to
http://www.example2.com/something/something
If possible I want to be able to do it with IIS because I have coded an internal rewriting module for example.com that rewrites user friendly URLS to aspx pages, and I don't want any interference with the other site.
NINJA EDIT:
I want to keep the address as http://www.example.com/mysite so I need to rewrite it not redirect it.
This should do the job:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect mysite" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^mysite$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.example\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example2.com/something/something" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
