Hi,

if I'm not mistaken, it looks like you don't have the wildcard-entry in your IIS. This means that if you use a URL without the aspx, IIS will treat is as a directory (it is not processed by ASP.NET).

To make it work, you probably need to add a wildcard-mapping to ASP.NET.

HTH,

Peter

damn! Peter beat me! -- i acutally just worked on this early today on one of my sites...

yes you go map the widcard and update the config to use directory urls...

then you need to write some rewriting rules to cover your various instances...

here's how i covered my bases... please someone correct me if i am wrong with anything anyone sees below...

<add name="KickIt"  virtualUrl="^http\://www.baty-barr.com/(.*).aspx"
            rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
            destinationUrl="http://baty-barr.com/$1"
            redirect="Domain"
            redirectMode="Permanent"
            ignoreCase="true" />

<add name="KickIt2"  virtualUrl="^http\://www.baty-barr.com/(.*)"
            rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
            destinationUrl="http://baty-barr.com/$1"
            redirect="Domain"
            redirectMode="Permanent"
            ignoreCase="true" />

<add name="KickIt3"  virtualUrl="^http\://www.baty-barr.com/(.*).aspx"
            rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
            destinationUrl="http://baty-barr.com/$1"
            redirect="Domain"
            redirectMode="Permanent"
            ignoreCase="true" />

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies. I tried following your advice by adding a new handler before the staticfile handler.
(ASP.NET-ISAPI-2.0-Wildcard) that catches all (*).

It didnt work, and after that I had to change the project to classic App-pool, so I had to delete the reference anyhow. (it made my site go nuts)

Do you have any ideas what I could do? Please spell it out, I'm kind of new to this stuff.

thanks anyways.

Martin

Have you seen the following:

Hi, I'm having some problems with umbracoUseDirectoryUrls and wildcard mapping (I'm using IIS6). When I set it up, the site works great, neat and tidy urls. But the umbraco admin stops working! (rather renders awkwardly) [img]http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4162/error2ga.jpg[/img] I get the following errors: [img]http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7503/errorbs.jpg[/img] It seems as if the js-files are not found? Do I need to ad a handler to the js-files in IIS?

Are the js-files in Umbraco Admin not referenced virtually?

Help on this would be very appriciated.

I solved my issue. I removed the wildcard mapping for the umbraco_client directory. Works great!

is working on a reply...
