IIS7 Url Rewrite problem

Question

I have a webapp that on my local machine runs as the root url, however on the server it runs in new virtual directory of another website.

The problem i have is that all the images have been written like so;

<img src="/Images/image.jpg" .../>

However when i upload the webapp to the server the image needs to be like this

<img src="/myApp/Images/image.jpg .../>

so i thought i would use the rewrite module to change the image path and save myself some time. Using IIS7 I have the following for the pattern;

*/Images/*

and this for the actions rewrite property

http://myDomain.com/myApp/Images/{R:2}

however i doesn't work - this image is still showing as not found - can someone point out my mistake.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The pattern ought to be a regular expression, try match as

  ^.*?/Images/(.*)

and the rewrite url as

 /myApp/Images/{R:1}

Note this needs to be in the web.config for the site not the application.
