    URL rewriting - how do I do this?

    I am working on a site and we have changed the main URL.

    I want to be able to do some rewriting, along the lines of:

     - oldURL.com/accommodation -> newURL.com/accommodation

    - oldURL.com/contactdetails - newURL.com/contactUs

    - etc. (many more rules)

    - anything else goes to newURL.com

    How I have set this up is:

        <add name="wwwOldDefault"
             virtualUrl="(.*)://www.oldurl.co.nz(.*)"
             rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
             destinationUrl="$1://www.newurl.co.nz"
             ignoreCase="true"
             redirect="Domain"
             redirectMode="Permanent" />
        <add name="wwwOldAccom"
             virtualUrl="(.*)://www.oldurl.co.nz/accommodation/"
             rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
             destinationUrl="$1://www.newurl.co.nz/planning-your-trip/accommodation"
             ignoreCase="true"
             redirect="Domain"
             redirectMode="Permanent" />

    but it doesn't work as intended. Any ideas on how this should be structured?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Depending on how different the old and new URL's are you may find it easier to create your own UrlRewriting provider.

    If it's purely a domain redirect this should surfice:

        <add name="wwwOldDefault"
                 virtualUrl="(.*)://www.oldurl.co.nz(.*)"
                 rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
                 destinationUrl="$1://www.newurl.co.nz$2"
                 ignoreCase="true"
                 redirect="Domain"
                 redirectMode="Permanent" />

    That'll take everything before & after the domain and place it into the new site.

    Hi Slace,

    That is how I generally do but the $2 section will be completely different in this particular site so this will not work.

    Thanks

    ok, the best way I can seem to implement this is to set the rewriting as:

        <add name="wwwDobson"
             virtualUrl="(.*)://www.old.co.nz(.*)"
             rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
             destinationUrl="$1://www.new.co.nz$2"
             ignoreCase="true"
             redirect="Domain"
             redirectMode="Permanent" />
        <add name="wwwAccom"
             virtualUrl="(.*)://www.new.co.nz/accommodation"
             rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
             destinationUrl="$1://www.new.co.nz/planning-your-trip/accommodation"
             ignoreCase="true"
             redirect="Domain"
             redirectMode="Permanent" />

    and then set up a 404 redirect to the home page to account for the links that arn't expicitly redirected.

    Hi guys, I have a case that is pretty similar; old url should be rewritten to new url without changes to the rest - BUT this should happen ONLY when old url has certain querystrings. I'm really not good at this url rewriting regex stuff - could you give me advice?

    Both urls are on the same Umbraco installation, the two domains assigned.

    Example:

    This should not be rewritten: http://www.NT.no/forsiden/europa/amsterdam

    This should be rewritten: http//www.NT.no/forsiden/europa/amsterdam?alttemplate=unikdestinasjon

    to: http:www.UT.no/europa/amsterdam?alttemplate=unikdestinasjon

    Thanks for any response!
