Redirect Subdomain URL to another SubDomain in IIS

Question

I need to redirect a \"fake\" sub domain to a real subdomain in IIS 7.5. The reason is that the marketing department doesn\'t want to use the actual website address in print pie

Answer 1

Your rule is causing a redirect loop.

Observe what your rule does:

• Match any given URL (this includes "/", "/something", "/something/another.html", etc.)
• If the host name ISN'T "report.usapartners.com"
• Redirect permanently the request to "http://reporting.usapartners.com"

So, as you see, as soon as the user is redirected to the reporting subdomain, it gets redirected again to reporting, because hostname isn't "report.usapartners.com".

The key here is the negate="true" attribute on the rule condition. Remove it or set it to false and you are good to go.

Edit:

You are almost there.

The real solution would be to change the host name on the rule to the desired host, keeping the negate true, so your rule would do:

• Match any given URL (this includes "/", "/something", "/something/another.html", etc.)
• If the host name ISN'T "reporting.usapartners.com"
• Redirect permanently the request to "http://reporting.usapartners.com"
