I have just performed an upgrade from 4 to 6 (still using WebForms) and got most things working again - but I'm unable to set the HTML form action correctly on a page with a usercontrol on a page which has a rewritten URL. The nice URL is like /developer-job-in-london-J12345 and the rewritten URL is /jobs/details.aspx?JobRef=J12345.
How did you handle the rewrite on v4? Sounds like you may have been using the /config/UrlRewriting.config file? If my assumption is correct have you then remembered to merge this file so the rule is intact? If I'm wrong...how did you then handle it before?
Hi Jan, thanks for the reply. I didn't merge the UrlRewriting file - I overwrote it. Has something changed in the way this works? If I hadn't carried across my change then it wouldn't have a page at all at the correct address - but as I say it all works fine except when I use the postback.
In a strange twist it actually works on my CI server - just not on my dev machine. The CI server has IIS and uses a real domain - whereas locally I use IIS Express and a port on localhost - I wonder if it's a bug related to that?
Yes - then any developer would need to install IIS on their machine. If there's something you could suggest trying on the IIS machine to work out what it might be I can do that?
Shall I try moving to ASP.NET rewriting instead of the UrlRewriting module?
Heh - I've loved not having to install IIS ever since IIS Express came along! It's SO much easier to just have it run the server as and when it's needed.
I suppose I'll try stopping using the UrlRewriter then and see if that makes a difference. Thanks.
Upgrade 4.11.10 to Umbraco v6.2.5 - Unable to set correct <form action=""> for rewritten URL

By the way I have another (pretty unrelated TBH) question about my upgrade - I used just the membership parts for a mobile version of the site - but I couldn't get this to work unless I installed the whole on UmbracoCms - I'd love to get it working with just UmbracoCms.Core - I don't suppose you happen to know anything about that? https://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/63161-Use-Umbraco-membership-(and-profile)-provider-in-non-Umbraco-ASPNET-web-forms-site
Hi Ian
I don't think anything has changed in that config so overwriting it should work just fine.
Perhaps there could be an issue using IIS express - Have you tried setting up a regular IIS site instead and see if that works?
I'm not sure about the other issue unfortunately :)
/Jan
Yes the CI server site is IIS - sorry I didn't mention that. So seems like it is an IIS Express issue, then? :(
Hi Ian
Yeah could be - But is it a big deal for you to setup an IIS site locally instead? :)
/Jan
Yes - then any developer would need to install IIS on their machine. If there's something you could suggest trying on the IIS machine to work out what it might be I can do that?

Hi Ian
I'm not sure what to try out to be honest - But you can try doing that and see if it makes any difference.
But if they're doing web development I can't see why installing IIS would be a major problem? To me that's just a given thing :)
