Any help!!

Well its redirecting because you are hitting a .aspx page when you go to Umbraco/ are you not?  Well the easy way would just be to add another rule to say if anyone hits /umbraco page then do not redirect.  Not sure if this actually helps :/.  Charlie

So a a simple way would just be to catch /umbraco/ and then redirect it to /umbraco/  thus you are bypassing the first rule you have set up :)

Hey Charles,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried that and still it takes the first rule and redirect "www.maindomain.com/umbraco/login.aspx?redir=%2fumbraco%2f" to "www.maindomain.com".

Means it removes the .aspx after login with the previous rule.

If you have a sample of ignoring the previous rule than please share.

Thank you,

Hey, i can have a look for you, i was hoping that because the second was more specfic that it would take that rule over the more general one.  

Could you post the rule you wrote for it?  Thanks.  Charlie :).

I have the general rule as following and then I added for Umbraco login as you suggested, there might be the problem.

Would you please correct if you have any idea.

General rule:

<add name=".aspx removal"
          redirect="Domain"
          ignoreCase="true" rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
          virtualUrl="http://www.maindomain.com/(.*).aspx"
          redirectMode="Permanent"
          destinationUrl="http://www.maindomain.com/$1" />

For Umbraco login:

<add name=".aspx removal"
          redirect="Domain"
          ignoreCase="true" rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
          virtualUrl="http://www.maindomain.com/umbraco/"
          redirectMode="Permanent"
          destinationUrl="http://www.maindomain.com/umbraco/login.aspx/redir=%2fumbraco%2f" />

Thank you,

Sundip

We use the IIS redirect module so we can make rules in the web.config.

This is what I have for stripping .aspx:

        <rule name="Trim aspx for directory URLs" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)\.aspx$" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/umbraco/" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{R:1}" />
        </rule>

This way you can easily setup conditions for your rules. You can do a lot of magic with it.

Here you redirect to the url without .aspx, except if the request uri contains umbraco, then it doesn't do anything. Sounds like what you needed.

Hmm maybe your missing some elements in the XML.

<system.webServer>
 <rewrite>
 <rules>
      <rulename="Trim aspx for directory URLs"stopProcessing="true">
          <matchurl="(.*)\.aspx$"/>
          <conditions>
            <addinput="{REQUEST_URI}"pattern="^/umbraco/"negate="true"/>
          </conditions>
          <actiontype="Redirect"redirectType="Permanent"url="{R:1}"/>
        </rule>
 </rules>
 </rewrite>
</system.webServer> 

It is purely speculation though. A quick search on google turned up with some XML schema that might be a bit wonky. So can't really say for sure.

That seems like a better implimentation :).  Thats the same sort of thing you would do in sitecore.  Thanks Niels

Hey Niels,

I wrote the same thing. It's working fine.

I will try to resolve that error message in web.config.

Thank you so much for help Niels and Charles.

is working on a reply...
