    .aspx URLS giving 404 - Umbraco 6.2.1

    Hey guys,

    I have just started working on an existing umbraco project built by another developer, the project is using version 6.2.1.

    In the root of the website I have a aspx file but when I try to browse the page:

    Example: wwww.mywebsite.com/myfile.aspx I get a 404

    I have a txt file in the same location and this works:

    Example: www.mywebsite.com/myfile.txt   < WORKS I CAN SEE THE PAGE.

    I have had a look at the UrlRewriting.config file and I found this.

    <add name="301RedirectDirUrls"
    redirectMode="Permanent"
    redirect="Application"
    ignoreCase="true"
    rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
    virtualUrl="^\/(?!(umbraco\/|data\/|install\/|usercontrols\/|umbraco_client\/))(.*)\.aspx"
    destinationUrl="$1/$2" />

    Is this rule stooping my aspx URLs not to work?

    How can I have a seprate aspx file inside my umbraco site that responds to:

    wwww.mysite.com/myfile.apsx

    thanks in advance.

    Ayo

    Yes, the rule is stopping your aspx URLs and you could've found out by just removing the rule. Why didn't you try that?

    I have now realized I need the URL re-writing rule, but I want to exlude ONE URL

    So if some one requests

    www.mywebsite.com/myfile.aspx I want it to be processed all other *.aspx urls I don't. Can someone point me in the direction of how to modify this URL rule to achieve this:

    <add name="301RedirectDirUrls"
    redirectMode="Permanent"
    redirect="Application"
    ignoreCase="true"
    rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
    virtualUrl="^\/(?!(umbraco\/|data\/|install\/|usercontrols\/|umbraco_client\/))(.*)\.aspx"
    destinationUrl="$1/$2"

     />

    ^/(?!((?:(?:umbraco|data|install|usercontrols|umbraco_client)/)|(?:myfile|yourfile|somefile)\.))(.*)\.aspx

    But this should be enough:

    ^/(?!((?:(?:install|umbraco|umbraco_client)/)|(?:myfile)\.))(.*)\.aspx

    Thanks....

    and just out of interest...

    If I wanted to redirect a specific URL to another URL

    so...

    for example www.website.com/myfile.xml will redirect the user to www.website.com/myfile.aspx

    the myfile.aspx will then run some c# code and return myfile.xml

    Is this possible? Will it work? at the moment when a user goes to www.website.com/myfile.aspx the browser automatically downloads a xml file (witch is what I want)

    Ultimately when a user requests www.website.com/myfile.xml I want the myfile.aspx to run and return the dynamically generated xml file.

    I could tell you, but you wouldn't learn anything out of it.
    Instead, this URL should help you create the rule you want: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/tip-trick-url-rewriting-with-asp-net

    <add key="umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" value="false"/>

     

    below URL works

    http://www.qihub.scot.nhs.uk/improvement-journey.aspx

     

    but the one below (with out .aspx) is throwing error "Page cannot be found"

    In that case umbracoUseDirectoryUrls should be set to true.
