Hi there,
We're having an issue which I think is how the URL rewriting is "supposed" to work in DNN but we need a different behaviour. The site works great in terms of redirecting to our custom 404 error page as long as you're in the root of the application, but when you're in a subdirectory for instance: www.domain.com/subdirectory/wrongpage.aspx where the wrongpage.aspx wouldn't be found, the site shows that the page was found but redirects the user back to www.domain.com/subdirectory which is incorrect, it should redirect the user to the custom 404 error page. I know that the URL rewriting gets done by the old Ifinity module and found this piece on their site:
"So, if you have a page called /path1 and you request /path1/nopage.aspx, then you'll get the /path1 page returned as normal. The /nopage part of the path will be treated as a querystring. "
This is exactly my problem, for good SEO practices we need for this "nopage.aspx" not to redirect to /path1 but rather to the custom 404 error page, how do we achieve this?
Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Anina

Hi Anina,
Unfortunately I don't have a clear cut solution for you, but places you can explore and use as a starting point:
1 - If you have control over you hosting IIS server, I would explore using IIS rewrite rules and to try to figure this one out. URL Rewrite is an IIS add-on which you can find more details @
http://www.iis.net/downloads/micros...rl-rewrite
- We have used it in the past and it can work well;
2 - If you don't have control over your IIS, then I would recommend a DNN module like URL Adapter from DNNSharp. That is a great module and hopefully they can handle your scenario well. I would drop them a note and ask before buying. You can find it @

Since you are referring to "directories" and "subdirectories" are you really referring to physical files, or are you actually referring to DNN's dynamic page structure?
