I have used the Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.dll for URl Rewriting in my asp.net application. and added rules in the web.config files like

<rewrite url="~/green(.*)" to="~/greenpage.aspx"/>

<rewrite url="~/yellow(.*)" to="~/yellowpage.aspx"/>

</rewriter>

when i run it in Visual studio it works fine. like http//localhost:1288/myproject/green

 but when i run it through localhost/myproject/myproject/green

it shows page cann't be displayed.

Why is this happening with localhost

do you use iis for this rewriting?(it should be used)

Did you configure wildcard mapping on the live server?

Your localhost is probably vs.net dev web server which has built in wildcard mapping.

I used the thrid party dll. which i mentioned above.

So i didn't configure any wildcard mapping ?

would you please explain a little more.

OK.. basically the URLrewrite you use is a .NET component.  IIS (unlike development server) uses different ISAPI to handle different file type, eg. *.asp is handled by asp ISAPI or *.pl is handled by either Perl CGI or ISAPI.

Since you are trying to rewrite a extension less path, without wildcard mapping, IIS will not even pass the request to ASP.NET and thus never reaches your rewrite component.

I hope this is clear.
