Menu
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>
380
In the Web Server (IIS) pane, scroll to the Role Services section, and then click Add Role Services. On the Select Role Services page of the Add Role Services Wizard, expand Common Http Features, select HTTP Redirection, and then click Next. On the Confirm Installation Selections page, click Install.
In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click the Web site or directory you want to redirect, and click Properties. Click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab. Under The content for this source should come from, click A redirection to a URL.
A URL may not be redirecting for many reasons: Browser cache – Your browser has cached a previous request. Clear your browser cache to get the latest. Server cache – Your site is being cached with some caching software, and this needs to be updated to include your redirect.
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>
