I'm trying to use URL rewrite with IIS7 to make mydomain.com/home/default.aspx look like mydomain.com. Additionally, the original structure of the site has the root default.aspx redirecting to mydomain.com/home/default.aspx.
Thus, visits to mydomain.com would redirect to mydomain.com/home/default.aspx while showing only mydomain.com in the web browser address bar.
Can someone help me with the Inbound and Outbound rules to make this happen?
Thank you.
Run the iis manager (inetmgr), select your website -> double click on URL rewrite.
You then have to click on the right on Add Rule(s)... and choose Blank Rule.
Fill up the fields with the following values:
This rule will match mydomain.com or mydomain.com/ and rewrite it to mydomain.com/home/default.aspx.
This will produce the following rule in your web.config:
<rules>
<rule name="test" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^/?$" negate="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="home/default.aspx" />
</rule>
</rules>

We are trying to add a rewrite rule matching a regular pattern to our wordpress blog using IIS10 (in Windows Server 2019). However the rule is not applying on the first part of the url scheme.
<match url="^blog/(.*)$" />
In this case, the rewrite works for https://example.com/blog/article1 but not for https://example.com/blog/ and is giving us 404 error. Have tried the following with no luck:
Ensure ARR module is installed and Enable proxy is ticked.
Created separate rewrite rule above the existing rule for /blog
<match url="^(blog|blog/)$" />
Created redirect rule for blog to blog/news and then the rewrite rule works. But we would like to preserve the /blog url on the browser.
Here is the rewrite rule that we are trying to crack and would appreciate some suggestions to get it working. Thank you
<rule name="wordpress-rewrite" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^blog/(.*)$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://blog.example.com/{R:0}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
I have multiple domains pointing to one Web application. Here are a few, just as an examples, so that I can reference them in my examples.
www.mydomain.com
sub.mydomain.com
www.affiliatedomain.com
ASP.NET allows for a web.config setting to accomplish this:
<httpCookies httpOnlyCookies="true" domain=".mydomain.com" />
This allows me to share sessions between the www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com domains. Perfect! Except it only works for one domain.
Another avenue I explored was url rewriting. I could insert a rewrite rule to ensure that only www urls are being accessed but doing so (at least the one I write) works for the domains, but appends a www. to the sub.mydomain.com resulting in a failed www.sub.mydomain.com - which won't work. Perhaps this option could still work if someone knows how to formulate url rewrite urls better than me.
Finally, to be clear, I don't need to share sessions across all domains (I know this is not possible). I just would like to share domains across the same domain with and without www.
For example: www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com
Or www.affiliatedomain.com and affiliatedomain.com
The sub.mydomain.com can live on its own so long as it never has a www. in front of it.
I think the rewrite option is best for your case, something like this should fix the sub domain rewrite issue.
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect domain.com to www" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^domain.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domain.com/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
I have had a site at www.mysite.com/myfolder/ for years. I have developed a new version and want to just remove the /myfolder so that the site serves all pages from www.mysite.com.
Example: www.mysite.com/myfolder/mypage.htm will be permanently redirected to www.mysite.com/mypage.htm
How do I configure this using the URL Rewrite module in IIS7? I start with a blank rule, but then get lost. Thanks.
You either use the IIS Management UI or edit the web.config directly. With a section in web.config that looks like this, you will redirect everything (images as well), which might be want you want.
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="test" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^myfolder/(.*)" />
<action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
If you use the Management tool, you add an empty rule, give it a name, add ^myfolder/(.*) as the pattern, select Redirect as action type, add {R:1} as target URL and select 301 as redirect type.
This is supposed to be permanent, that's why you should use a 301 redirect (for SEO purposes and so on).
I'm trying to redirect all subdomain requests for domain.com to www.domain.com and user must access all part of website only by enter to main domain and click on links , for example if user directly enter following address in browser:
subdomain.domain.com
OR
www.domain.com/post/showPost.aspx?pid=11
i want to show error page and then redirect to www.domain.com
i use asp.net and IIS 7.5 and visual studio 2010
Thank you.
Using the URL Rewriting module could be the way to go. Try using configuration similar to the following:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="Redirect to WWW" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern=".*" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.domain.com/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
This will redirect without showing an error page. If you want to show an error page then you'll need to redirect to a page that takes the return URL and does a client-side redirect to the right place.
As #inspile says you're going to have trouble doing it for sub-pages of the site. You may be able to do it using the referer to make sure it's from a link on the main site. Again the URL Rewrite module is the way to go here.

For the subdomains, you can either redirect them using your web hosting's Control Panel, or if you have the subdomains setup on a server that you can remote into, use the URL Rewrite module in IIS Manager to redirect all requests for the subdomain to your www subdomain. Using URL Rewrite, you don't have to show an error page, the redirect will happen automatically.
You're not going to be able to restrict users from accessing pages using links only.
I'm using ASP.NET 3.5 with IIS 7 with the URL Rewrite Module 2.0 installed.
When I create the first test rewrite rule:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Test rule1" patternSyntax="ExactMatch">
<match url="w/123/test" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="article.aspx?id=123" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
It works perfectly (http://www.myapp.com/w/123/test -> http://www.myapp.com/article.aspx?id=123).
BUT, when I try to use it on a domain that I own, it doesn't work. I assume that something in my syntax is wrong. Here is what i'm trying to do:
<rule name="Test Rule2" patternSyntax="ExactMatch">
<match url="http://www.my-domain.com" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="article.aspx?id=123" />
</rule>
When I try to browse http://www.my-domain.com I expect to be redirected to the article.aspx page, which I don't, I just get 404 page not found.
How should I write a rule for a domain and not for a path ?
Thanks in advance, Gal.
Rules are relative to the place where the web.config lives. You don't need to specify any domain for your rule. The input for your /> is going to be always the URL Path without the query string and without leading slash. That means, if you request "http://www.my-domain.com/" the input is going to be "". If you request "http://www.my-domain.com/w/123/test", the input would be "w/123/test".
If you just browse to http://www.my-domain.com/" the "Default Document" module in IIS will try to rewrite your request to something like http://www.my-domain.com/default.html" and that won't match your rule. Make sure to disable default document module.
If that doesn't work, URL Rewrite has a tracing feature where you can see step-by-step the workflow:
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/467/using-failed-request-tracing-to-trace-rewrite-rules/
N.B. For server rules, the input URL includes leading slash always.
