  Help needed with migrating ISAPI_Rewrite 2.9 rule to IIS7 Url Rewrite Reply Contact Hi am struggling to convert this rule to IIS7 URL rewrite and I would really appreciate any help. I have tried the import, which imports successfully but states the rule is invalid: 'Invalid rule back reference. The index 3 is invalid' Here is the ISAPI Reqwrite Rule RewriteCond Host: (www\.)?(.+) RewriteRule /link(.*) /section/subsection/default.asp?query=$3 [I,L] I would really appreciate some help in what I need to do. Thanks

  Re: Help needed with migrating ISAPI_Rewrite 2.9 rule to IIS7 Url Rewrite Reply Contact If what you really want is a back-reference to /link(.*) then please change $3 to $1 $3 means the 3rd capture of RewriteRule but you only have one capure (plus $0). RewriteCond has two captures but those should be available using %1 and %2 (% instead of $) Hope that helps.   Daniel Vasquez Lopez URL Rewrite Engine Developer

  Re: Help needed with migrating ISAPI_Rewrite 2.9 rule to IIS7 Url Rewrite Reply Contact A typical URL would be http://mydomain.com/product/66/Supplier/Product+Name What i'm trying to do is grab the 66 and append it to that query but $1 or {R:1} as it translates in IIS7 Rule appears to contain /66/Supplier/Product+Name where as I only want the 66 Any more ideas? This rule works as is on my old IIS 6 box. Thanks for your help

  Re: Help needed with migrating ISAPI_Rewrite 2.9 rule to IIS7 Url Rewrite Reply Contact You can try wildcard matching instead of regex (to simplify it) and then change the matching pattern to something like: "product/*/*" where {R:1} would be 66 and {R:2} would be Supplier/Product+Name Please note that I removed the leading (the first) slash '/' from the matching pattern, it is not needed.

It seems to work ok with product/66/supplier/product but not when there is a + where product name is seperated with + so /product/66/supplier/product+name+name2+name fails any ideas? Thanks

You can disable that by configuring RequestFiltering module as below:   <security>             <requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping="true" />   </security> http://ruslany.net

  Re: Help needed with migrating ISAPI_Rewrite 2.9 rule to IIS7 Url Rewrite Reply Contact Open web.config file located at the root folder of your web site. In that file add this XML inside of the <configuration>/<system.webServer> element. The web.config file will looks similar to below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration>   <system.webServer>   <!-- Some other settings may be here -->     <security>       <requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping="true" />     </security>   <!--  Some other settings may be here -->   </system.webServer> </configuration> http://ruslany.net
