I'm trying to use IIS7 Url Rewrite module rewrite
services.mydomain.com/some-file-here to mydomain.webhost.com/folder/some-file-here
The rule is as follows:
Pattern = ^services.mydomain.com/(.*)$
Action = Rewrite
Rewrite URL = http://mydomain.webhost.com/folder/{R:1}
The problem is IIS keeps giving me 404 not found errors. I've been stuck at this for days now. Any ideas?
You have your pattern wrong. It should not include domain name or query string there -- only path without leading slash. See the working rule below:
<rule name="MyRewriteRule" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(some-file-here)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^services\.mydomain\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://mydomain.webhost.com/folder/{R:1}" />
</rule>
The above rule will only trigger if host name is services.mydomain.com. If you do not require such additional condition (which is optional) then just remove these 3 lines: <conditions>...</conditions>
Also, the above rule will only do one specific redirect from services.mydomain.com/some-file-here to mydomain.webhost.com/folder/some-file-here. If you need to redirect ANY file like that, then use this one instead:
<rule name="MyRewriteRule" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^services\.mydomain\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://mydomain.webhost.com/folder/{R:1}" />
</rule>

I just need to create a rule in my web config file to rewrite all URLs to given into rule
ex:
url/services/presentations-evenementielles to
url/Services/Presentations-Evenementielles
This is all made for SEO purposes to avoid duplicates.
<rule name="ProductionRule2" stopProcessing="true" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" >
<match url="^/productions/xyz" ignoreCase="true" />
<action type="Redirect" url="Productions/XYZ" redirectType="Permanent"/>
</rule>
Above code its gives me infinite loop error.
There was some mistakes with your rule
1.You were trying to use "^" in an exact match rule. Please set it to regular expression
2.You are trying to use "/" in match url. The match url part of domain/productions/xyz is
productions/xyz instead of /production/xyz.
3.You are enabling ignore case when you redirect URL to itself.
So please try to modify the rule like this
<rule name="ProductionRule2" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^productions/xyz" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Redirect" url="Productions/XYZ" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
Update:
Please modify the rule like this
<rule name="ProductionRule2" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^Productions/XYZ" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<action type="Redirect" url="Productions/XYZ" redirectType="Permanent" />
<conditions>
<add input="{ToLower:{URL}}" pattern="/productions/xyz" />
</conditions>
</rule>
And this is working on my side
Please remember to clean browser cache when you test the rule.And the URL should be prODuctions/Xyz instead of prODuction/Xyz.
The site I'm working on (.Net 4.0 & VS2010 on IIS8) uses a single rule to rewrite all incoming URLs to .aspx pages existing in a single "/pages/" folder. For example, "www.site.com/hello" is rewritten to "/pages/hello.aspx".
The current rewrite rule is this:
<rule name="pages" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^([a-z0-9_-]+(?:/[a-z0-9_-]+)*)/?$"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/pages/{R:1}.aspx" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
This is working fine, but I'm struggling to implement a custom 404 redirection for when either of the following are true:
a) The url format defined in the regex is not matched (i.e. the strict url format was not adhered to), or
b) The url regex is matched, but the rewrite to url="/pages/{R:1}.aspx" does not exist (e.g. the url is "/pages" but the physical file "/pages/hello.aspx" does not exist).
Can that be accomplished with rewite rules?
Discovered the purpose of stopProcessing="false". :)
The rewritten url can be further tested in the next rule, to redirect to a 404 page if it does not end up pointing to an existing file. The working code is:
<rule name="pages" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="false">
<match url="^([a-z0-9_-]+(?:/[a-z0-9_-]+)*)/?$"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/pages/{R:1}.aspx" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
<rule name="404" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="pages/Error404.aspx" />
</rule>
I need to redirect http requests, to https. But only when my site is accessed via the normal URL. i.e. www.accufinance.com
When I access it in debug, locally, I connect using localhost - and don't want the rewrite to happen (As I don't have SSL locally).
I am trying this:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="Redirect to https" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^accufinance.com$" ignoreCase="true"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
But the rewrite rule doesn't happen. If I use (.*) as the match URL, it works fine, but catches ALL connections. How can I make the rule only fire when there is 'accufinance.com' in the URL?
You need to check HTTP_HOST with a condition to match your domain name.
The directive match for url param only contains what's after your domain name.
Example: http://www.domain.tld/some/url/here.ext
HTTP_HOST = www.domain.tld
REQUEST_URI = /some/url/here.ext
You can use this rule to do what you want
<rule name="Redirect to https" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?accufinance\.com$" ignoreCase="true" />
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
Please note you'll need to clear your browser's cache before trying again (your old rule is still in cache because of your permanent redirect)
The regular expression ^accufinance.com$ is extremely restrictive. The ^ indicates that it must match all the way to the beginning (i.e. nothing else precedes it), and the $ requires that nothing follow it all the way to the end. As such, the match will only succeed when the request URL is exactly accufinance.com.
Try removing the ^ and $. Or, you can explicitly allow parts of the URL before and after the desired filter, as in .*accufinance\.com.*.
I am trying to translate this apache rewrite rule into web.config rules but I can't get it to work.
Basically it checks the user agent and redirect the agent to the url provided
# allow social media crawlers to work by redirecting them to a server-rendered static version on the page
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT (facebookexternalhit/[09]|Twitterbot|Pinterest|Google.*snippet)
RewriteRule qs/(\d*)$ http://sitetocrawl.com/doc?id=$1 [P]
This is what I have so far. However, I can't figure out how to catch the url querystring parameter. Basically the text string after http://example.com/qs/parameter
<rule name="Social Rewrite" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="urltomatchpattern" ignoreCase="true" negate="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_USER_AGENT}" pattern="facebookexternalhit/[0-9]|Twitterbot|Pinterest|Google.*snippet" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://sitetocrawl.com/doc?parameter" appendQueryString="true" redirectType="Found" />
</rule>
EDIT:
I tried with many variants of simpler rules, like redirect/rewrite when a specific user agent requests the site(in my case, the facebook crawler). But I can't even get those rules to work. I am debugging using the Facebook OG debugger
<rule name="Rule1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_USER_AGENT}" pattern="facebookexternalhit/1.1|Facebot" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="new url here" />
</rule>
Not an answer but a starting point. The IIS Manager (IIS 8 on Windows 8.1) translates your apache mod_rewrite rules into this slightly different configuration:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="qs/(\d*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions>
<add input="%{HTTP_USER_AGENT}" pattern="(facebookexternalhit/[09]|Twitterbot|Pinterest|Google.*snippet)" ignoreCase="false" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://sitetocrawl.com/doc?id={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
I see that it is rewrite instead of redirect, but please check if this would work for your scenario. And if it works, you may begin changing it until reaching desired result.
And now I see that Your main URL Matching pattern is simply urlmatchpattern which of course is not a pattern and is the root cause for your rules to not work.
I am trying to create a URL rewrite for a site that has multiple domains. For example one of the domains is mydomain.com and if a user puts www.mydomain.com in their browser and does not specify a page I want to rewrite the URL to call www.mydomain.com/landingpage.aspx?cat=1&sol=4.
If the user calls anything else such as www.mydomain.com/somepage.aspx this rule should be ignored.
I have installed URL Rewrite 2.0 on the server 2008 R2 machine we have and I have added this rule to the web.config.
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="mydomain.com" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www.)?mydomain.com" />
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^$" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="\landingpage.aspx?cat=1&sol=4" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
I am using the {PATH_INFO} of ^$ so that if anything other than just a call for the domain occurs this should ignore it I think. However it does not work.
I am using .NET 4.0 on the site.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please?
You are looking for following rule:
This will check if URL is empty i.e. no page is specified using match url=^$ - empty string and redirect to specific page.
<rule name="Redirect to specific page" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www.)?mydomain.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://{HTTP_HOST}/landingpage.aspx?cat=1&sol=4" />
</rule>
