Redirect to www in iis? - iis

Question

I know there been quite a few posts on this already but the answers do not work for me.
when I type in example.com in the url I want it to redirect to https://www.example.com
I have these rules but when I put in example.com I get 404.
<rule name="ReactRouter Routes" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
</rule>
<rule name="Redirect to www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" enabled="true" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" ignoreCase="true" negate="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTPS}" ignoreCase="true" matchType="Pattern" negate="false" pattern="OFF" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

According to your url rewrite rule I found you set a url rewrite rule at first. That means if your url match the (.*), it will rewrite the url to /index.html and will not go to any other url rewrite rule. So your "Redirect to www" and "Redirect to HTTPS" rules will not be fired.
To solve this issue, I suggest you could try to use below rules. It will fire the redirect rules firstly, then fired rewrite rule.
<rule name="Redirect to www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" enabled="true" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" ignoreCase="true" negate="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTPS}" ignoreCase="true" matchType="Pattern" negate="false" pattern="OFF" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="ReactRouter Routes" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
</rule>
I have these rules but when I put in example.com I get 404.
As far as I know, 404 means page not found, I suggest you could try to use fail request tracing to track the actually url IIS have redirect to.
Details, you could refer to below article:
