Comments on: Storing URL rewrite mappings in a separate file http://ruslany.net/2010/05/storing-url-rewrite-mappings-in-a-separate-file/ IIS, FastCGI, PHP and other interesting stuff Sat, 12 May 2012 03:15:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rajendra http://ruslany.net/2010/05/storing-url-rewrite-mappings-in-a-separate-file/comment-page-1/#comment-11876 Rajendra Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:34:32 +0000 http://ruslany.net/?p=760#comment-11876 Hi Ruslany, We are using SDL tridion cms package for a new website. We have a requirement where the user can provide user friendly urls while creating a page in Tridion. Is there any built in functionality in tridion which can handle both the url and the internal links on page. Presently we have come up with two approaches 1. using IIS url rewrite module and providing an external xml file(this file will be updated automatically when a user added a new page.) 2. using httpmodule In both the cases whenever there is a change in the input file (for eg. if the user creates a new page, a new entry will be added to the xml file) the IIS or the application need to be restarted to reflect the changes. Is there any other way in which we dont need to restart the server? P.S. there is no fix pattern of url and there fore we cannot define regex rules. Thanks, Rajendra Dhaundiyal Hi Ruslany,

Once I added the following condition, it worked "". Is this because my css file was being captured by the rule? Your articles are extremely helpful (I have used many as reference). Thanks again!

To troubleshoot the feature you can use <a href="http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/467/using-failed-request-tracing-to-trace-rewrite-rules/" rel="nofollow">Failed Request Tracing</a>. Hi Tim,

This would be a place to start: Using rewrite maps. To troubleshoot the feature you can use Failed Request Tracing.

By keeping the rewrite map in a separate file I hoped to have worked around this requirement, but unfortunately there is no way around it. Thanks again!

This causes IIS to reload the configuration. Hi Jacob, I believe IIS Manager UI touches the corresponding web.config file when rules in rewritemap.config files are changed.
