Redirect Subdomain to Subdirectory using IIS Rewrite Module

Discussion in 'DNS/Domain names' started by lookitskris, Dec 28, 2010.

  1. So, I have a site (www.mysite.com) that is a working MVC web app – no problems.

    On the root, I have a base installation of blogengine.net in a folder called BLOG.

    What I want to do is have the URL of “blog.mysite.com” point to and display the blog app.

    I have my domain provider pointing to the Winhost name servers and I have the subdomain of “blog.mysite.com” set up

    Using the IIS remote manager I have created the subdomain “blog.mysite.com” but it just redirects to the root MVC web app (which I guess it should as there is a problem right now)

    Using the IIS manager I have created the following rule using the URL Rewrite module:

    Input URL path after ‘/’ Matches (.*) Redirect http://www.mysite.com/blog/{R:1} (Stop processing = true, entry type = local)

    {HTTP_HOST} Matches the Pattern ^blog.mysite.com$

    {REQUEST_URI} Matches the Pattern /blog

    Am I doing something wrong? As right now it is still just rerouting to the root MVC site

    I did read an article on the KB that mentioned using some custom VBScript to perform the redirect, but I couldn’t get this working and I would prefer to do it this way to keep it clean and fast.

    Thank you for any help!

    Make sure you choose Rewrite instead of Redirect as the rule.

    Then for the URL value set it to "blog/{R:0}"
     
  3. It is still just rerouteing to the base MVC site - this is really starting to drive me nuts!

    is there any other information I can provide that could be causing it to do this? like makybe I have something with my registrar set up wrong? It has to be something basic!
