Serve aspx/ashx files as STATIC on Apache

  • 772

I'm moving a static archived website to Apache from IIS/Windows, want to keep the old URLs that end with .aspx

How do I allow aspx/ashx as static content on Linux?

I don't plan to execute these files in Mono or anything, just to serve them as static (with all the code removed obviously, keeping only html)

I assume I should be doing something like this to my .htaccess:

AddType text/html .aspx

Am I right?

apache-2.2

    AddType text/html .aspx

    That should be OK. Does it work? Although best added to your server-config, rather than .htaccess, if possible.

    Alternatively, you can rename the physical (static) files to .html (which is, after all, what they are) and internally rewrite the request from .aspx to .html for backwards compatibility using mod_rewrite. For example:

    RewriteEngine On

# Rewrite .aspx URLs to .html files
RewriteRule ^/?(.+)\.aspx$ /$1.html [L]
