I am currently developing in Umbraco 4.7.
My client has a requirement to redirect classic ASP pages with the .asp extension to their new pages. I have installed the following package:
Manage URL Redirects
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/manage-url-redirects
This packages does exactly what I need with .aspx pages and for those without an extension.
However, when it comes to .asp this doesn't work. My first thoughts are that this is because .asp is not set up to map to .aspx pages within the handler mappings configuration within IIS7.
In an attempt to resolve this, I have added a new handler mapping to IIS.
Add Script Manager
Request Path - *.asp
Executable - C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
Name - ClassicAspToNet
Prior to adding this handler mapping, I was receiving the IIS 404 error page. Now I receive a Server Exception:
Failed to Execute URL.
Example: * REMOVED LINK HERE *
Your help would be greatly appreciated in helping me determine whether it is possible to serve .aspx pages with a .asp extension, and if so, how do I do this?
Thanks in advance,
David.
I had a similar issue with a PHP to Umbraco migration. My solution was to add an extensionless handler (wildcard mapping) and then use the UrlRewriting in Umbraco to strip the .php and replace it with .aspx.
Here's the rewrite rule I used:
<add name="phptoaspx"
virtualUrl="^~/(.*).php"
rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
destinationUrl="/$1.aspx"
ignoreCase="true" />
Perhaps in your case you just need the rewrite? You may need to remove the .asp from the IIS handler mappings though.
You can try the blog entry I wrote about how to remap other extensions to IIS in both Classic Mode and Integrated mode:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carlosag/archive/2008/07/04/mappingfileextensionforaspxpagesiniis70.aspx
You can use the 301 Moved Permanently feature in case if that helps.
In you classic asp site you have global.asa with event like On Application start, you can redirect to the the appropriate aspx file.
e.g
Sub Application_OnStart
Declare a variable and Get page name from request and redirect accordingly
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://www.example.com/" + VariableNameThatHoldsPageName
Response.End
End Sub
Hope it helps.....

Hi on redirecting of catalogsmain.asp I want to call Global.asax file and in that I want to call Application_BeginRequest method.
Actual I have one old website which is created in old ASP so it contains all page with extension .asp.
Now we had created that same website in MVC and now what we need to do is that when any user search on google and click to the SEO link it will open that site as www.abc.com/product.asp which will redirect it to IIS 404 error as product.asp page will not be there in our new application. Similiary like this there are around 300 of pages
Is there any other way that when I redirect for OLD URL like www.abc.com/product.asp it automatically gets redirect to as www.abc.com/Product/ProductShow.
I have asked similar question on link where I had written code link
But I did not get any reply.
I had review to this link but I am not getting how he is calling global page on accessing .asp page.
Can any one suggest Some good technique. for how do I redirect to new URL
Please review this link where I had asked similar question
Created Rewrite config
In web.config file I had written code as which thinks to be fine
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules configSource="Rewrite.config" />
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
If it's available to you, you could use the URL Rewrite extension for IIS. See this other question for how the rules are written:
If Url not valid, perform legacy url lookup before throwing 404 error
I'm using IIS7.5. I have a simple ASP.NET webforms site that uses basic URL rewriting in global.asax, intercepting requests for .aspx pages and passing them to various template pages.
For example, you can request http://www.mysite.com/default.aspx. In global.asax I first check if this exists as a "true" page. If it doesn't, I go off to the data store to get the details and redirect to template.aspx?page=default (or something similar).
This all works great. However, there's one issue. If I browse to http://www.mysite.com/default.aspx I get the page I expect. If I set the default document to default.aspx, either in the web.config or in IIS, then browse to http://www.mysite.com/ I get the error about directory browsing not being allowed.
Why is IIS ignoring the default document in this case? It appears to be because the file "default.aspx" doesn't exist. If this is the case, is there a workaround for the problem?
EDIT
To clarify, I don't have control over the IIS system and it's on really basic hosting, though I can request some changes, so I can't use any URL rewriting modules.
Workaround for you situation: Create Index.aspx as default document as physical file and redirect user to Default.aspx URL. So when user comes to mysite.com/ then index.aspx will kick in and force redirect to default.aspx which can then handle your template redirection logic.
Ok, wierd problem I cant figure out. Hopefully someone where can. I have inherited a site that was developed with a very over-architected Content Management System. I am having problems now with the redirection functionality built into it.
This is on a dedicated Windows 2003 server running ASP.NET 3.5 sp 1. The redirects are stored in the database, and I have confirmed that the correct redirect is in place in the database. Finally, the file extension .html has been mapped in IIS to the ASP.NET ISAPI. And there is an HttpHandler created to redirect the .html requests. The default documents on the server, in order, are:
default.aspx
index.aspx
default.asp
index.asp
default.html
index.html
for this example, we have two redirects both pointing to the same content page. /example and /example.html
when requesting /example.html it correctly finds the appropriate redirect in the database and does its magic. Bueno. When requesting /example it gives a 404 page. Its not even the asp.net yellowish 404 generic error page. Its the standard vanilla IIS 404 response so it appears that asp.net is not intercepting these requests.
Let me know if any other information is requested and I will try to provide what I can. Thanks in advance for all the great recommendation I am sure will come from the community.
You should be able to map a wildcard extension to go through the ASP.Net ISAPI DLL is the solution.
Installing Wildcard Application Mappings (IIS 6.0) may also be useful.
Without rewriting the CMS, you can put a physical file in a new directory "/example". This will trigger ASP.NET to intercept the request, and hopefully load your page.
If you want to really hack it up you can change the IIS 404 page to be a .NET page in your application that can handle the original request and redirect to the page you really want.
Yes this is correct because /example is not pointing to any file, it is pointing to directory in the web server. Check that Default.aspx/ default.html or any other atleast one of them exists in your app.
If you are using ASP.Net MVC for REST then check your actions are properly written.
Hi i'm wondering how to redirect a http://mysite.com/pdf/blah.pdf to http://mysite.com/pages/page.aspx for all pdf file requests in iis 6.0/asp.net. Haven't been able to find anything definitive by searching.
You can write a simple ISAPI plugin for IIS6.0. I had a similar problem of redirecting all HTML to ASP files. I wrote a blog post about the plugin. Check it out and see if it helps.
If you just want to redirect the request without anything programmatic the easiest option on IIS6 is using URL rewriting. In this scenario you either direct the browser to do a 301 or 302 redirect to your ASPX page. Here are some options that work on IIS6:
Ionic's ISAPI Rewrite Filter: Free, open source, mod_rewrite syntax
ISAPI_Rewrite: Commercial product, mod_rewrite syntax
UrlRewriter.Net: Free, open source, requires IIS wildcard mapping
If you want to do anything programmatically you'll need to create an extension mapping in IIS for the .pdf extension to get the request into ASP.NET, and then create an HTTP handler and register it in web.config to handle requests to *.pdf.
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.pdf" type="MyNamespace.MyPdfHandler, MyAssembly"/>
</httpHandlers>
If you mean the PDF doesnt exist on disk and you want to call the aspx page to look for and server out the PDF to the browser?
If so there are 2 ways:
1) setup a 404 redirect in ISS on the /pdf/ folder to point to /pages/page.aspx
YOu may need to add a querystring parameter with the ID of the file, which will be avilable in the page.aspx.
2) Create an HttpHandler to handle this.
In asp.net 3.5, I'm rewriting the url
http://www.abc.com/archive/1108/harpersdecember
to the following
http://www.abc.com/article.aspx?docId=78
I'm using this code to do it:
Context.RewritePath("/article.aspx?docId=78");
It works fine locally but when I upload to the remote web server, I get a 404 when trying to reference the above page. Any suggestions why it works locally but not remotely?
You may need to create a wildcard mapping in IIS on the remote server so that all requests are processed by ASP.Net. If you do not do this any URLs without .ASPX on the end will not run through your URL rewriting code.
There is a good explanation of this (and other reasons you might use it) on Scott Guthrie's blog.
Not "may" - you definitely need to create a wildcard mapping. Visual Studio uses the cassini web server which essentially passes all requests through .net. IIS only forwards specific mapped requests (by default .aspx, .asmx, etc..) to .net - rewriting a URL in asp.net requires adding a new mapping to get the request to asp.net in the first place
Sounds to me like the production server does not have a default aspx page, ie: default.aspx. If it did, it would reroute the request to your handler.
Easy way to verify this, would be to create a directory and place a default.aspx file in it and try to request it using only the dir name, ie: server.com/newdir/
If that gives you a 404, then you know it for sure.
