Getting UrlRewritingNet to work on WinHost and IIS7

If you are migrating from IIS 6 and are using the UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewrite code, you will soon discover it doesn't work. Short of rewriting your application, I discovered a quick fix.

From Fixed error - UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewrite on IIS7:

Put this inside <modules> in the Web.Config file:

Code:

<add name="UrlRewriteModule" type="UrlRewritingNet.Web.UrlRewriteModule, UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter"/>

 

Wouldn't this be easier if you drop the "UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewrite" and recreate it using the IIS 7 URL Rewrite module in IIS 7 Manager?

 

Possibly, but I was under the gun to move a working site ASAP. Also, I don't believe you can connect IIS 7 Manager to the test URL without moving over the domain.

I am now free to replace the code without having any links break.

 

You can still connect to our server with IIS 7 manager even if your domain name don't point to us. Simply use the secondary URL address as the server name.
