Hi,

I have been playing around for quite a while now with the MVC Routing classes and have implemented a near perfectly working alternative solution for url rewriting.
One last issue to overcome is the following:

When you want to route from http://myurl.com/animals  to http://myurl.com/themehome.aspx?category=animals this is only possible if there is no existing ~/animals folder. If there is one, the link will automatically open the standard 'Directory Listing'-page instead of going through the routing logic.

Does anyone have any idea to get around this without renaming this folder 'animals' into something else?

Thanks a lot!

Peter

Hi Peter,

By default, DirectoryListingModule take precedence over UrlMappingsModule. Fortunately, it is possible to change the order of UrlMappingsModule and DirectoryListingModule.

Goes to IIS7 Manager -> Modules, in the right pane, click View Ordered List, you can then use Move Down, Move Up to change the order of modules.

Thanks Zhao Ji Ma that helps a lot and solved my issue!

Although I don't have access to the production database, I know now how it can be solved.
