Hi,

I am having trouble excluding some files.

I want to rewrite all asp files to htm except those like /filter.asp?abc such as these below

http://www.muranavi.com/machida/eatsndrinks/filter.asp?url=viewad.asp?id=1000102&act=17&id=1000102

I am having trouble with the syntax for this.  Not sure if it is because of having 2 x .asp in the url, but I need help!

Thanks Anton,

The whole site is dynamic, so I had simply set it to rewrite from the root folder. 

So, directory pattern /, replace '? & =' with '-', move file extension to the end of file checked, replace asp with htm

I also notice though that links back to the home page, default.asp, do not get re-wrtitten.

Hi Anton,

I copied and pasted that into Directory Pattern and clicked apply, but I get the error message "You must enter valid directory pattern".

What to do?

I guess I misunderstood Anton as I though I had to include [MoveExt] in the Directory Pattern

I have tried your last 2 suggestions.  Same original problem though as it rewrites to:

http://www.muranavi.com/machida/eatsndrinks/filter-url-viewad.asp?id=1000102-act-17-id-1000102.htm

Any idea?

Many thanks,

Tony.

About says version 2.0.0.81 which i think is most recent?

It was installed over an older version though.  Maybe it needs a clean install?  Is there a particular way to do that?

One other thing.  This is the asp coding behind the link.  Would this have an influence?

<a href="filter.asp?url=viewad.asp?id=<%= adID %>&amp;act=17&amp;id=<%= adID %>">

Many thanks,

Tony.

In IIS under the LinkFreeze Tab I click About and it says version 2.0.0.81

Hi Anton,

It is Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack 2.

Im afraid though the page is behind a login, and I have also made an alteration to move things along, using HTTP headers to exclude the files containing the add to favorites links.

I think this solution will be good enough as pages linked to from those pages are linked to on higher levels of the website.  The favorites link is of no use for SEO and other additional links are just email a friend and print versions.

So, it would be good to solve now for academic purposes but otherwise I am happy to stick with the work-around.

Many thaks,

Tony.
