Hello,

We are working on an international website that is using the URL Master module with URL rewriting and attempting to also use 301 redirects from the old site pages (.NET application) to the new site (DNN version 5.1.2). 

In reviewing the HTTP request information in Fiddler, there is no 301 redirect request being sent and returns a 200 request for the URL http://novusint.com/beef.  Further investigation using wget showed us the URLs were returning back a 302 redirect request and the 302 redirect URL was pointing to the site homepage at http://novusint.com/.

The following URL is from the old site, which we have redirects setup in the URL Master module to redirect to the new page on the DNN site:
http://novusint.com/beef

And it should redirect to this URL:
http://novusint.com/en/market-segments/beef

The following are the redirects that are setup in the URL master Page Urls section for the home page to the beef section:
http://novusint.com/Default.aspx?TabId=823                                                301 – Perm Redirect
http://novusint.com/en/MarketSegments/Beef/tabid/823/Default.aspx          301 – Perm Redirect
http://novusint.com/en/market-segments/beef                                                200 - OK
The next two are additions and are links from the old site:
http://novusint.com/species/beef/beef-main                                                    301 – Perm Redirect
http://novusint.com/beef                                                                                 301 – Perm Redirect

After entering the http://novusint.com/beef URL, the page does not redirect to the proper URL of http://novusint.com/en/market-segments/beef and instead remains on http://novusint.com/beef.

When we run a test from the "Test URL Rewriting and Redirecting Functions" from the Friendly URL module, it outputs that http://novusint.com/beef is using a 301 redirect to http://novusint.com/en/market-segments/beef.

Are we setting up the redirects correctly within the URL master module?  What can we do to get the 301 redirect to apply properly to the URLs within our site?

Hi Bruce,

You are correct that the entry.aspx page is a language selection page where when the user selects their preferred language, a cookie is set for the site language they chose.

We reviewed the web.config and there is a .NET rewriter module operating in the HttpModule section.  This is in use primarily for applying rewrites to documents that are currently hosted on their old site.  This is the httpModule line added in the web.config for the .NET rewriter module:

<add type="Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.RewriterHttpModule, Intelligencia.UrlRewriter" name="UrlRewriter" />

Another piece of information I can provide is that we are using Adequation's Localization Extensions module with the site as well, if that has any known issues when operating in conjunction with URL master.

Thank you and we appreciate your help on this matter.
