    301 redirect: asp to aspx

    Hi,

    Tried a pletera of different approches on how to 301-redirect an old ".asp" based site to the clients new Umbraco site. Nothing seems to do the trick.

    Old contact page: http://www.nssas.dk/Default.asp?ID=7

    New contact page: http://www.nssas.dk/kontakt-os.aspx

    Thought this would do the trick (Returns 404 on asp pages):

    <add name="301ReDirect1" redirectMode="Permanent" redirect="Domain" ignoreCase="true" rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
virtualUrl="http://www.nssas.dk/Default.asp?ID=7"
destinationUrl="http://www.nssas.dk/kontakt-os.aspx" />

    Tried adding ASP to ASPX rewrite (Returns 404 on .aspx pages):

    <add name="aspewrite"
 virtualUrl="^~/(.*).asp"
 rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"                 
 destinationUrl="~/$1.aspx"
 ignoreCase="true" />

    Also tried installing 301 URL Tracker but unfortunately that completely broke the site/installation.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    I'd recommend the 301 Url Tracker, because I've built it and it has been built exactly for these situations :-P

    Tell me, what happened when you installed the Url Tracker? It would've been nice if you reported the bug to me...

    Thanks for your suggestion regaring 301 URL Tracker - the site launched today and i can't risk breaking it.

    I simply installed 301 URL tracker (Webdeploy / Umbraco 6.2.2 / simple database setup) and was completely shut out of Umbraco backend/frontend. Had to manually delete the package/dependancies via FTP to get the site up and running again.

    I would be happy to help you troubleshoot on an upcoming project. I have a project coming up in the next month where your package could help. I that case i would need support/assistance from you in case things go south. Let me know if we should pursue this.

    In the end you should never do anything to your production environment without having at least tested it on your development environment first ;-)

    Too bad you didn't make a screenshot of the error or something like that.

    Totally forgot to reply to your original question!
    I use this for removing '.aspx':

    <!-- SEO | Trim .aspx for directory URLs -->
<!-- Note: using UrlRewriting.Net because IIS UrlRewriting doesn't like rules with .aspx in it -->
<add name="SEO | Trim .aspx for directory URLs"
    redirect="Application"
    redirectMode="Permanent"
    virtualUrl="^/(?![0-9]+.aspx)(?!umbraco/)([^\?]*?).aspx$"
    rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
    destinationUrl="/$1/"
    ignoreCase="true" />

    So I guess something like this should work:

    <add name="Redirect asp to aspx"
    redirect="Application"
    redirectMode="Permanent"
    virtualUrl="^/([^\?]*?)\.asp$"
    rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
    destinationUrl="/$1.aspx"
    ignoreCase="true" />

    Thanks for your suggestions, i already tried that rewrite unfortunately. For some reason i does not work and still results in a 404 when i enter an "old" URL - eg. http://www.nssas.dk/Default.asp?ID=7

    Ok, so i got a proper 301 for the old asp pages using the below rewrite. 

    <add name="301RedirectDirUrlsOldSite" 
virtualUrl="^http\://www.nssas.dk/Default.asp(.*)" 
rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" 
destinationUrl="http://www.nssas.dk/" 
redirect="Domain" 
redirectMode="Permanent" 
ignoreCase="true" />

    Now all i need to do rewrite the resulting URLs eg. http://www.nssas.dk/?ID=7 (The below unfortunately does not work.)

    <add name="301ReDirect8" 
redirectMode="Permanent" 
redirect="Application" 
ignoreCase="true" 
rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite" 
virtualUrl="http://www.nssas.dk/?ID=7" 
destinationUrl="http://www.nssas.dk/kontakt-os.aspx" />

    Any tips on how to 301-redirect http://www.nssas.dk/?ID=7 to http://www.nssas.dk/kontakt-os.aspx this URL?

    Thanks again

    I'd use IIS Url Rewrite, much better than UrlRewriting.NET IMO...

    Thanks, but i don't have that option unfortunately. I need to implement the 301's via UrlRewriting.config
