  Error parsing rewrite rules in configSource file - why? Reply Contact Trying to figure out why we get this 500 error:  Specified configSource cannot be parsed  From this entry in web.config <rewriteMaps configSource="/upload/rewritemaps.config" /> pointing to this file upload/rewritemaps.config with this file content: <rewriteMap name="TestRewriteMap"> <add key="/Web-Sites" value="/WebSites.aspx" /> </rewriteMap>

  Re: Error parsing rewrite rules in configSource file - why? Reply Contact I think you need to add <rewriteMaps> at the beginning and </rewriteMaps> at the end of the rewritemaps.config file, e.g. <rewriteMaps> <rewriteMap name="TestRewriteMap"> <add key="/Web-Sites" value="/WebSites.aspx" /> </rewriteMap> </rewriteMaps> Refer to this thread for more details: http://forums.iis.net/t/1150604.aspx http://ruslany.net

  Re: Error parsing rewrite rules in configSource file - why? Reply Contact That gets ride of the error if I put the rewritemaps.config file in the same directory as the web.config file.  Thanks But now I need to figure out the correct syntax for putting rewritemaps.config file into a sub-directory: <rewriteMaps configSource="upload/rewritemaps.config" />  <-- does not work <rewriteMaps configSource="/upload/rewritemaps.config" />  <-- does not work <rewriteMaps configSource="~/upload/rewritemaps.config" />  <- does not work

Reply Contact I have learned from experience that including the rewriteMaps from other then root of the site does not work - I tried also as you to include the rewriteMap from a folder(for better manageability) but that was a no-go. Do it from the site's root... Who are you? What do you want?

Reply Contact Yes your suggestion works.             <rewriteMaps configSource="upload\rewritemaps.config"/> with "upload\rewritemaps.config" instead of "upload/rewritemaps.config" Thank you.

  Re: Error parsing rewrite rules in configSource file - why? Reply Contact I know the issue is solved, but ppl, please read the error messages throughly. It's exactly as anilr wrote because the path for configSource has to be "PHYSICAL" and relative.  This means the ".config" files should be stored somewhere under the Application path and you have to refer them by their relative physical path and therefore segments of path would be joined by a BACKSLASH and not a forward one.
