I have an old url www.mydomain.com/customer/1. I changed that server to ww2 and it displays fine at ww2.mydomain.com/customer/1. On my new IIS 8.5 www server how can I put in a rewrite rule so if the user goes to www.mydomain.com/customer/1 they will redirect to ww2.mydomain.com/customer/1. I have tried numerous patterns in the Url Rewrite 2.0 module and nothing seems to work. All other www requests I do not want redirected, those stay on my new www server.
I you want to redirect a single path, /customer/1, then you should add this to Web.config on the www.mydomain.com server:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect 'www.mydomain.com/customer/1' to 'ww2.mydomain.com/customer/1'" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^customer/1$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.mydomain\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://ww2.mydomain.com{REQUEST_URI}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
If you wish to include additional paths, you can fiddle with the RegEx specified in the <match url="^customer/1$" /> tag.

I am using URL rewrite to try and set up a rewrite from one site to the another site. I used URL re-write to set up this rule:
<httpRedirect enabled="false" destination="https://www.previdence.com" exactDestination="false" />
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="SiteRedirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.previdence.com" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
I have followed a couple of tutorials on setting this up and this is what should be set. So if I type in companyname.net it will redirect to https://www.companyname.com. If I type in https://www.companyname.net or https://companyname.net it goes to a 404.
Looking at the bindings for the old site there are bindings for PORT 443 and PORT 80 for www.companyname.net. I set the redirect in IIS for code 302, then I got URL rewrite as I explained above and I still get a 404 error.
I have subdomain with an A record to my IIS Server:
sub.domain.com
The IIS server has a binding for sub.domain.com and a cert for *.domain.com
What we need is when someone goes to sub.domain.com it takes them to another site but masks the URL and keeps the SSL. The destination page has in its SAN cert sub.domain.com.
Tried a forward on Godaddy which works but it doesn't keep the SSL and we get cert issues. So thought was to point to our server to pass SSL and then redirect it. I tried a URL Rewrite but it's giving a 404.
URL Rewrite:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="Pay Redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?sub\.domain\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.domain2.com/cgsdesktop/PaymentLanding/UniversalPortal" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
I just need to know how to get this done.
How about this:
<rules>
<rule name="Pay Redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^sub.domain.com$" ignoreCase="true"/>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www.sub.domain.com$" ignoreCase="true"/>
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.domain2.com/cgsdesktop/PaymentLanding/UniversalPortal" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
use sub.domain.com instead of sub\.domain\.com.
This article contains some useful recipes on IIS redirect/rewrite rules.
In order to mask the URL and keep the SSL in the browser bar, we need to create URL Rewrite action rules of URL Rewrite extension.
However, URL Rewrite action only supports to redirect the request to the same domain by default. We have to install the Application Request Routing extension when redirecting the request to another website.
https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/application-request-routing
or we will get an Http 404 error.
See my preceding post for more details.
ASP.net URL Rewrite subdirectory to external URL
Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.
I need to create easy to remember URL's that redirect to long and hard to remember paths for a large number of applications.
i.e.
subdomain.domain.edu/shortname
redirects to
https://www.subdomain.domain.edu/mainApplication/subfolder/page
I'm using the URL Rewrite module in IIS 8.5, but I keep getting a 404 when I browse to the short alias. I know the rewrite module is working as I use it to handle rewriting HTTP to HTTPS and to add WWW to a URL.
My rewrite rule looks like:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Easy to remember shortcut" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*subdomain.domain.edu/shortname" />
<conditions>
<add input="{URL}" pattern=".*/shortname" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.subdomain.domain.edu/mainApplication/subfolder/page.aspx" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
Of course this returns a 404. Any ideas?
Forgive me if there is already an answer to this in another post, however, I've read through and tried over 30 posts on the URL rewrite module and have not yet found the solution for actually creating an alias.
Url rewrite match condition won't be able to see your domain i.e. if the URL is https://www.subdomain.domain.edu/shortname the match part can only see shortname (anything after domainname/).
To validate the host we need to add in the conditions clause. So your rule will be something like below
<rule name="shortnameURL" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="shortname" />
<action type="Redirect" url="mainApplication/subfolder/page" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern=".*subdomain.domain.edu" />
</conditions>
</rule>
Also it should be ok if you add the entire URL here
<action type="Redirect" url="mainApplication/subfolder/page" /> as below
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.subdomain.domain.edu/mainApplication/subfolder/page" />
I'm trying to set the canonical URL for my site (macton.com) to add the www in the beginning. The site is hosted using IIS and I installed the URL Rewriter Extension.
Here is the code I put in the web.config file. However, it doesn't seem to do anything, because it remains macton.com.
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite to www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^macton\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="http://www.macton.com/{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
After this I have a bunch of <location> tags with redirects that work fine. I tried using a redirect from macton.com → www.macton.com but that just creates an infinite redirect loop (DUH!)
Any idea why this wouldn't be working? Everywhere I look says this is the correct code!

Have you also added macton.com to the binding of your website?
To configure an IIS rewrite rule to redirect traffic to my site to a different URL.
Basically I am trying to redirect this url: www.sharepointalex.co.uk to www.sharepointalex.co.uk/blog. At the moment it is pointing at the root of my site (a wedding website I setup for my partner and I).
www.sharepointalex.co.uk is a domain pointer on WinHost.
The rule I have so far is:
<rules>
<rule name="Blog" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="www.sharepointalex.co.uk" />
<action type="Redirect" url="{R:0}/blog" redirectType="Temporary" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="www.sharepointalex.co.uk" />
</conditions>
</rule>
</rules>
However this doesnt seem to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
The match URL should not include the host name.
