  URL Rewrite not redirecting as expected Reply Contact  It's very possible that im doing something wrong here, but if my logic is correct the below should work. I want it to redirect to http://docs.win1002.vs.domain.co.uk/docs if the url entered is  http://docs.win1002.vs.domain.co.uk Problem is, when i enter this i simply get a redirection loop which makes sense i guess.  To get around this i put a condition prior to the one above that should ignore  http://docs.win1002.vs.domain.co.uk/docs Therefore, if the url entered is  http://docs.win1002.vs.domain.co.uk it will redirect to http://docs.win1002.vs.domain.co.uk/docs and because there is a condition to ignore this, should then display the page. Is this correct or have a got this horribly wrong?

  Re: URL Rewrite not redirecting as expected Reply Contact If all the redirections are withing the same domain docs.win1002.vs.domain.co.uk, then there is no need to have the conditions. The rule would look similar to below:  <rewrite>             <rules>                 <rule name="Redirect" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^$" />                     <action type="Redirect" url="docs/" />                 </rule>             </rules>  </rewrite>  The rule is located inside of the web.config file in the root directory of your web site. http://ruslany.net

  Re: URL Rewrite not redirecting as expected Reply Contact ok. I see where you are coming from. Is there however a way of hiding the docs folder so that the user will not see it in their browser? Users have the domain domain.com (with www.domain.com also forwarding to the same place). We want to allow them to have docs.domain.com redirect to a folder or application called docs without the user knowing that they are in a sub folder. so that if the user enters docs.domain.com it actually goes to www.domain.com/docs but the user will only see docs.domain.com in their address bar.

  Re: URL Rewrite not redirecting as expected Reply Contact Hi, rkr31: so that if the user enters docs.domain.com it actually goes to www.domain.com/docs but the user will only see docs.domain.com in their address bar. If the docs.domain.com and www.domain.com are pointed to the same website on a server, then this can be archived by using URL Rewrite. The rule looks like: rewrite>       <rules>         <rule name="Rewrite to sub directory " stopProcessing="true">           <match url=".*" />           <conditions>             <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^docs.domain.com$" />           </conditions>           <action type="Rewrite" url="docs/{R:0}" />         </rule>       </rules> </rewrite> Leo Tang Microsoft Online Community Support Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.
