    7.6.1: UrlRewriting.config seems not to work

    Hi

    I'm trying to do some seo-friendly urls but I'm having a bit of trouble. I found that I couldn't get UrlRewriting.config to work on this installation, so I tried another approach which went even worse :)

    So, the build in URL tracker is disabled, Url Tracker is installed - and those things usually doesn't interfere with the use of UrlRwriting.config.

    I was wondering, since the file didn't even come with the download, is UrlRewriting.config not supported anymore?

    Neither

    <add name="JobCodeRule"
    virtualUrl="^~/test/(.*)"
    destinationUrl="~/test/?age=$1"
    rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
    ignoreCase="true" />

    nor

    <add name="umb2new"
   redirect="Domain"
   ignoreCase="true" rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
   virtualUrl="http://somedomain/test/"
   redirectMode="Temporary"
   destinationUrl="http://somedomain/testing/" />

    works. The later is just to see if redirects I know SHOULD work actually does.

    Kind regards, Bruno

    Hi Bruno,

    UrlRewriting.net was removed from 7.6 - it's slow and wasn't being maintained. You can use the IIS URL rewrite module which is much more efficient and should be able to handle your rewrite rules.

    Hi Bruno,

    is it a fresh install of Umbraco? Then the UrlRewritting.Net is indeed removed.

    If it was an update from a previous v7 version it should still be there as it will not get deleted.

    But even then I would also suggest to switch to the IIS Rewrite Module if possible.

    Regards David

    Hi again

    Got it working :)

         <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="JobRewrite">
                <match url="^test/([0-9]+)" />
                <action type="Rewrite" url="test/?age={R:1}" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
     </rewrite>

    in the system.webServer segment of web.config :)

    Kind regard, Bruno
