    Redirecting HTTP to HTTPS on Umbraco as a Service

    Dear all, this is a "for information only" post in case someone is searching the forum.

    I've recently setup HTTPS on our Umbraco as a Service website, and have tried to apply the changes needed to force the redirect to HTTPS. The changes are made to the web.config as indicated here:

    Umbraco as a Service: Set Up

    Unfortunately, when I added the changes to web.config, the local IIS generated an error. The warning I get on Visual Studio is:

    The element 'system.webServer' has invalid child element 'rewrite'

    As for the error on IIS, here is the screenshot:

    IIS error after making the changes to web.config

    When I uploaded the broken web.config on UAAS, all worked well.

    Turns out, I forgot to install the URLRewritter on my local IIS. So don't forget to do that!

    Specifications: IIS7, Umbraco 7.5.3.
