    URL Redirecting issue

    Hi guys, im having a URL redirect issue if anyone can help me please?

    I have a multilingual website with 2 cultures: /en (english) and /cy (welsh)

    The main URL for the english version is lovefostering.co.uk and for the welsh version its carumaethu.co.uk

    The client wants carumaethu.co.uk to hit the /cy to present the user with the correct language from the correct URL.

    I have set up all the bindings in IIS with both domains and if I type in carumaethu.co.uk/cy it all works fine.

    My issue is:

    How do I send requests from carumaethu.co.uk and www.carumaethu.co.uk to carumaethu.co.uk/cy

    Either in IIS or using Umbraco itself.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi Roger! If I'm understanding you correctly, you should be able to right-click on the cy and en nodes and select "Culture and Hostnames" and enter your FQDN in there. Umbraco should take care of the rest!

    Thanks Amir, That almost works. hostnames don't seem to support www. and non www.

    I have set carumaethu.co.uk in the culture and hostnames. This works great but if you type in www.carumaethu.co.uk It defaults to the english version.

    Ah, you can add both the www and non-www versions to the culture and hostnames settings, or use the following redirect in your urlrewriting.config. I tend to prefer the redirect method to canonicalize the urls.

    <add name="domainRewrite"
                 virtualUrl="http://yourdomain.com/(.*)"
                   rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
                    destinationUrl="http://www.yourdomain.com/$1"
                 redirect="Domain"
                 redirectMode="Permanent"
                  ignoreCase="true" />
