Question

I’ve been working on a small link length supressor site and can’t seem to figure it out on IIS7. I’m used to working on isapi rewrite and mod_rewrite.

The following scenario is active:
Lets say I have test.com, thats the main domain. The domain should process all files normally. But when the /.* isn’t a directory nor a file, it should send it to redirect.asp?text=(.*).

This is what my web.config looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
    <rules>
        <rule name="YOURLS 1" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="^([0-9A-Za-z-]+)$" ignoreCase="false" />
            <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
            </conditions>
            <action type="Rewrite" url="redirect.asp?test={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
        </rule>
    </rules>
    </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

Answer 1

It seemed to have to do with a wrong version of the URL rewriter. I installed the latest 2.0 and it was fixed!
