In my web.config, I have a custom Url rewriter class that takes query strings

  • 0

In my web.config, I have a custom Url rewriter class that takes query strings such as /movies/godzilla.aspx and turns it into /template.aspx?id=1234

The rewriter works fine when I run it locally on the built in web server in Visual Studios, but when I put it on IIS 7.5 and try to access the page using the friendly name, I get a message saying the connection was reset and have to do an iisreset to get the site back online. The page is perfectly accessible from the server using the query string URL.

Here is a snippet of my web.config:

    <system.web>
        <httpModules>
            <add name="ApFriendlyURL" type="FriendlyURL" />
        </httpModules>
        ....
    </system.web>

I’m confused as to why this works when running on the Dev Server in Visual Studios but not on IIS. I’ve played around with the settings in IIS, but I can’t seem to find anything that would let me use the FriendlyURL class as the rewriter

    HTTP modules in IIS 7.5 have to be configured in the system.webServer/modules section. Just copy your module definition there.

    Please be aware of the possible problem with the duplicate module configuration. If this is so, you turn off the integrated mode configuration:
