Thread: IIS7 Rewrite Module

I've installed the IIS7 rewrite module and added some rules through IIS...

I found that my rules were randomly being replaced with another rule and couldn't work out why. I have discovered that the problem was with my web.config file as this was linked to the IIS config manager.

OK so far...So, I looked in my web.config file and have added the rewrite rules manually...However I get a blue underlined error on the initial <rewrite> tag saying "The element system.webServer has invalid child element 'rewrite'.

I have googled this problem and so far found no way to resolve it.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

Yep, that's how I have mine micky....

But <rewrite> is not a valid child element of <system.webserver> so the page doesn't function correctly.

OK. I think I found the problem. It was to do with the matching section.
