Question

I am using Open Rasta 2.0 under IIS 6. I would like to redirect the root of the site to a web page.

The documentation says:

Note that this will disable IIS default page mapping. The work-around
is to either expose your default pages using OpenRasta itself….

I cannot work out how to achieve this. I have tried various routes in the configuration but they don’t seem to work with IIS. I am also using Cassini server on my DEV pc, it has no issues when no routes are added but under some routes I tried broke it.

Answer 1

Do you mean you want to show a webpage using OpenRasta on the root of the site? In this case you can do something like this when you have wildcard mappings setup.

using (OpenRastaConfiguration.Manual)
{
     ResourceSpace.Has.
     ResourcesOfType<Home>().
     AtUri("/").
     HandledBy<HomeHandler>().
     RenderedByAspx("/views/index.aspx")
}

Also when you say routes are you talking about OpenRasta resource configuration or IIS handler mappings?
