Problem with UrlRewritingNet

Question

I have a problem with UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter.dll (http://urlrewriting.net/149/en/home.html)!

I use html extensions instead aspx like: http://myhost.com/defaul.aspx -> I overwrite to http://www.myhost.com/defaul.html, add specific rule to web.config. It works fine on VS2008 developer server, but doesn't on live server.

Is it possible to set some values in web.config to inform web-server do not check files ("verify that file exists" checkbox) because I haven't access to IIS because it's hosts by hosting company?

Answer 1

If you're hosting it in IIS 6, then you need to set up the mapping in IIS. Many shared hosting solutions do not allow this. (Shared hosting is usually the cheapest).

BTW: Its worth noting that the professional versions of windows come with IIS, but it's not installed by default. If you can, it's usually best to at least test against a local version of IIS before you start looking at hosting.
