  • 0

I have a website running on IIS 7 bound to port 80 with 2 domains (for our purposes – example.com & test.com) pointed at it.

example.com is our canonical name so I would like any client that hits test.com to be redirected to example.com.

I have been trying to use the IIS 7 Rewrite module. However it doesn’t seem to have any effect whatsoever. How can I trouble shoot this?

Here’s the rule I put in my web.config. 

<rewrite>
   <rules>
      <rule name="rule1" enabled="true" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="*test.com*" />
          <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}example.com{R:2}" />
      </rule>
   </rules>
</rewrite>

    I was going about it the wrong way. This is the way to do it:

    <rule name="Canonical Host Name" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="(.*)" />
  <conditions>
     <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" negate="true" pattern="^www\.example\.com$" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
