How to redirect sub.Domain.com to a folder (Domain.com/folder, etc.) in IIS7?

  • 772

How can I redirect a subdomain to a folder using IIS7.5 remotely managing our website?

So:

sub.MyDomain.com would resolve to MyDomain.com/folder

I've tried using URL Rewrite but it's not seeming to have any effect. I didn't read anything about there needing to be DNS propagation (seems like that's not necessary).

Do I perhaps need to somehow set the DNS records know that IIS is handling that subdomain?

FYI, here are the settings I used:

If the Pattern is for a subdomain that I've created a CNAME DNS record for (pointing to the main domain: www.BungalowSoftware.com) then I get a 403 Forbidden result (so its hitting the server @ web.com) If the subdomain does NOT exist in the DNS (CNAME) then I get "not found".

  1. You need to create the site in IIS. aka sub.mydomain.com, after in it you simply do a 301 redirect to the relative path in your other folder.

    A bit like told there

    The setting I mean is there, when you click your added subdomain:
