IIS UrlRewrite is not working for IIS 8

Question

I have just moved my website to new computer which uses IIS 8 from one has IIS 7.5. All but URL rewriting is working well. there is no error message than "HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found" which I got. What I've only recognized is, there is an entry like RewriteModule (%SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\rewrite.dll) in website>modules setting page but, IIS 8 one has no same module. Even though I added same module to IIS 8, It didn't work. I'll be glad if I can have some suggestion about how to solve the problem. More info could be provided upon request..

Hope I could expressed what i mean properly.!

Thanks in advance,

alper

ps: url rules work well..

Answer 1

first of all you have to check if rewrite url works well, follow this sample tutorial:

http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/using-failed-request-tracing-to-trace-rewrite-rules

If not, open IIS8 and check if URL rewrite icon is showing. If not download msi from here:

http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

and reinstall the module. Now you could see the URL Rewrite module in IIS manager while on the root node (Server node) as well as on website and web application nodes.

Hope it helps!

goto IIS manager->server node->application request routing cache->server proxy setting->Check enable proxy checkbox.
