    simple urlrewrite turns out to be not so simple...

    General

    Hi guys,
    for a project I need to implement an urlrewrite that rewrites all pages in a specific directory like this:
    for example www.example.com/categories/page1 needs to become www.example.com/page1

    I've tried a million different things, but I just can't get it to work.

    Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to achieve this in the urlrewrite config?

    thanks a lot!

    Use this regex with the UrlRewriting.NET plugin (which is included with umbraco) or the IIS UrlRewrite module: categories/(.+)
    The first group is the match, so redirect/rewrite to (IIS UrlRewrite module syntax): /{R:1}

    And I think this should do it with the UrlRewriting.NET plugin:

    <add name="CategoriesRewrite"
virtualUrl="^~/categories/(.+)"
rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
destinationUrl="~/$1"
ignoreCase="true" />

    @kipusoep: Thanks for your reply. 

    I added the categoriesrewrite to my urlrewrite config file, but then the pages return a 404 error. 

    Can you explain your first post a little bit more please? IIS isn't exactly my level of expertise...

    thanks!
