It seems like if you want the page to ALWAYS show up at online-mba-programs.aspx url you should rename the page as such and redirect from the old page to the new one like this.

<add name="domainRewriteIR"
               virtualUrl="/old-url.aspx"
                rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
                destinationUrl="/new-url.aspx"
                redirect="Domain"
             redirectMode="Permanent"
              ignoreCase="true" />

Hi Amir,

Thank you for your assistance.

I tried what you recommended.  It does rewrite, changing the URL, however, I get "Page Not Found".

This is what I place inside of the UrlRewriting file:

<add name="MBA"
               virtualUrl="/academics/masters-programs/mba.aspx"
                rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
                destinationUrl="/academics/masters-programs/online-mba-programs.aspx"
                redirect="Domain"
             redirectMode="Permanent"
              ignoreCase="true" />

Thanks!

Hi Jason,

What URL is the redirect resulting in that's giving you a 404 error?

Also, if you may want to look into this package, it takes the pain out of creating redirects and adds a nice dashboard control so you / your editors can monitor misdirected incoming traffic: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker

Hi Amir,

When I had the rule in place, it was rewriting to the /academics/masters-programs/online-mba-programs.aspx but coming up as the 404.

We are actually having admin access granted (hopefully today) and then can look into the 301-url-tracker.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

Out of curiosity, are you sure it wasn't resolving to this url? http://www.saintleo.edu/academics/masters-programs/online-mba-programs.aspx

I wonder if the hostnames are set up incorrectly or something. There's no reason that a redirect should end up with 404 on an existing page.

Hi Amir,

Ok, so we had this custom built SEM (SEO) module built by a 3rd party which ended up failing after we parted ways.

I had unchecked the rule within this module the first time around.

I left the box checked this time and placed the rule that you provided into the UrlRewriting.config file and it's now working the way we need it to.

May be a bit confusing, but as long as it works now!  Thank you so very much, Amir!

Going to go test it on a few other non working rewrites.

Best,

Jason
