    change robotstxt to robots.txt

    Umbraco Cloud
    Umbraco 7

    I have created a simple Document Type for text files in order to create a robots.txt. This works very well. However, my node named robots.txt renders as /robotstxt (without the dot) in the URL, hence it is useless to crawlers. I wonder if there is a simple way to render the URL as robots.txt (with the dot) ?

    All the best

    Someone mentioned ~\Config\UrlRewriting.config but no such file seems to exist in my local clone.

    Hi Jesper.

    If no such file exsist then i guess you are using Umbraco version +7.6?

    Then you use the web.config rewrite rules.

    <!--

    Best option would be to use URL Rewrite module in IIS. That rule would look like:

    <rule name="Robots" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="robots.txt" />
  <action type="Rewrite" url="/robotstxt" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>

    Regards, Magnus
