Hello
I changed url rewrite rules in my webconfig:

from

<rewrite

url="^(.*)/address-1/(.*)/(.*)/(\?(.+))?$"

to="Page.aspx?$action1=$1;action2=$2"

name="some-rule-name"

urlPattern="/address-1/{Value}/{Value2}/"/>

<rewrite

url="^(.*)/address-2/(.*)/(.*)/(\?(.+))?$"

to="Page.aspx?$action1=$1;action2=$2"

name="some-rule-name"

urlPattern="/address-2/{Value}/{Value2}/"/>

and changes are ok, but i need also set 301 redirect from address-1 to address-2,
how can i do it in MonoX?

Thanks.

Hi,

you should update the custom errors section in web.config as described on MSDN.

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/MonoX/Pages/MonoX/Error.aspx">

</customErrors>

Thank you for your answer,

This is not what i need - sorry, maybe i didn't say fairly clairy:
i have in web.config enabled customErrors, so when i write old address then site show me 404, but i need do 301 on old address and redirect to new. I hope now it is easier to understand.

Thanks.

Why don't you just add the rule for address-1 and redirect to address-2, if that is possible ? Other than that you will need to point old address to some page and return 301 with the redirect.

Hi,

MonoX Url rewriting is based on the .NET UrlRewriter and here is an example how to achieve automatic 301 redirect - http://urlrewriter.net/index.php/support/reference/actions/custom-action.You can also check the following built-in action Set Status.

So you can use the combination of if with rewrite and set status to achieve this with the built-in actions.
