Make ASP.NET the default handler for all requests

Hi

I'd like to convert a static site to mojoportal, redirecting the old URLs with the builtin 301 redirector

The problem is that if I do a redirect from this url: example.com/test.html , it doesn't work, because it's directly served by IIS (=error 404)

What I can do?

Here it says it's possible to make ASP.NET the default handler for all requests, but I couldn't find how, I googled something, but it did not work...

Re: Make ASP.NET the default handler for all requests

Make sure you are using an integrated application pool and make sure the <modules element in the system.webServer section has runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Make ASP.NET the default handler for all requests

it is already set to true (i am running in full trust)

and the app pool is integrated (and i am using extensionless urls)

Re: Make ASP.NET the default handler for all requests

If that didn't work you may have to define a handler entry in iis for asp.net to handle .html as mentioned in this thread

But it may depend on whether your host enables you to make those kind of mappings.

Re: Make ASP.NET the default handler for all requests

Well, it looks like I was wrong.

When I added that handler for *.htm , if I typed example.com/test.htm , I was presented with the mojoPortal 404 page, instead of IIS 404 page, so I thought it was working.

I created a new 301 redirect from Admin/RedirectManager.aspx for example test.htm => test, but if I type example.com/test.htm I still get the error 404

I added this in web.config

<handlers>
<add name="htm" path="*.htm" verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="integratedMode" />

and I find this in logs:

2012-07-28 00:47:32,082 ERROR x.0.0.0 - it-IT - /home.htm - mojoPortal.Web.PageNotFoundHttpModule - Referrer(http://www.myurl.it/Admin/UrlManager.aspx) PageNotFoundHttpModule handled error.

Re: Make ASP.NET the default handler for all requests

I haven't attempted the route of handing HTML redirects inside mojoPortal, but on the off chance that you are running a full-blown IIS installation (rather than being hosted), you can do the redirecting from inside IIS itself, before mojoPortal even sees the request. That is how we did a similar transition from several HTML-based sites to a single mojoPortal installation.

Re: Make ASP.NET the default handler for all requests

Yes, i found out that it was easier to add in the web.config keys like this:

<location path="home.htm">

<system.webServer>
<httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="home.aspx" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" />
</system.webServer>

</location>
