Question

As per my other question UrlRewriter.NET with .NET 4.0 not working I was unable to get UrlRewriter.NET to work.

So now I have tried ManagedFusion. It works locally but does not work on the server BUT the errors are different and I sense that this might actually work and I have done something wrong in the configuration.

So my web.config settings are (condensed version)

<configuration>
   <configSections>
      <section name="managedFusion.rewriter" type="ManagedFusion.Rewriter.Configuration.ManagedFusionRewriterSectionGroup"/>
   </configSections>

   <managedFusion.rewriter xmlns="http://managedfusion.com/xsd/managedFusion/rewriter">
      <rules engine="Apache">
          <apache defaultFileName="ManagedFusion.Rewriter.txt" />
      </rules>
      <rewriter>
          <proxy useAsyncProxy="true" />
       </rewriter>
    </managedFusion.rewriter>
 <system.web>
     <identity impersonate="false" />

     <httpModules>
        <add name="RewriterModule" type="ManagedFusion.Rewriter.RewriterModule, ManagedFusion.Rewriter"/>
     </httpModules>

 </system.web>
<system.webServer>
   <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
   <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
      <add name="RewriterModule" type="ManagedFusion.Rewriter.RewriterModule, ManagedFusion.Rewriter" />
   </modules>
   <handlers>
       <add name="RewriterProxyHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="RewriterProxy.axd" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
    </handlers>
    <defaultDocument enabled="false" />
</system.webServer>

My ManagedFusion.Rewriter.txt is

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

#
# Campaign

RewriteRule ^/Campaign/List  /Campaign/List.aspx [NC]

Now this works perfectly fine on my local machine (Visual Studio 2010) but when I upload it I get a 404 that says it can’t find /Campaign/List.aspx.

And on top of this it also goes to SSL, which I don’t want as the SSL cert on that account is for a different subdomain and hence throws an SSL error.

Is there something I am doing wrong? It seems this time the URL module is handling all requests and this looks like I have configured it incorrectly somehow.

Hi this is actually a very common GoDaddy issue. I am going to post an update to this answer after I review my notes and forums on the CodePlex site.

(by the way I am the primary developer of it)

You mind if we take this offline, we need to chat back and forth so I can understand your setup. A quick way as explained in the readme.txt to trouble shoot problems is to turn on the logging.

RewriteLog /log/log.txt
RewriteLogLevel 9

The only problem with GoDaddy is that you need to create this log directory and give it write permissions, because if I remember right GoDaddy doesn’t allow write permissions in the root.
