IIS Simple redirect rule does not work

  • 772

I'm changing forum software for my website. I would like to redirect the board URLs. For example, The old URLs are example.com/forum/genika/board1 and the new URLs are example.com/forum/boards/board1

I've created this simple rule:

<rule name="forum/genika" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
   <match url="*/forum/genika/*" />
   <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}/forum/boards/{R:2}" />
</rule>

But it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

Testing the pattern of the whole url https://www.example.com/forum/genika/board1 matches the wildcard pattern, and I'm using {R:1} and {R:2} accordingly.

This doesn't make sense. It must be an IIS glitch or something else?

Thanks Alex
