URL redirect to port [closed]

Question

I currently access a hosted site at this URL: http://10.1.1.165:3013, but I would like to access it like http://10.1.1.165/m2m. How can I do this? I have installed the HTTP Redirect Module and tried using it with a website bound to port 3013, but it did not work. I also have the URL Rewrite Module installed. I am using Windows 7.

Answer 1

Couple things here:

1- You are going to need to be able to serve requests coming in on port 80, which your site you have configured in iis for port 3013 will not be able to do. So you'll want to make a new site listening on port 80 ONLY for the purpose of doing a redirect to http://10.1.1.165:3013 (where your site actually lives)

2- Once you have your site created listening on port 80, in iis create a new rewrite rule that directs traffic coming in to "http://{HTTP_HOST}:3013/{R:0}"

Steps for this are pretty simple. There is a really good MS kb here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/url-rewrite-module/using-rewrite-maps-in-url-rewrite-module

the rewrite mapping would be something like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <configuration>
<system.webServer>
    <directoryBrowse enabled="true" showFlags="Date, Time, Size, Extension, LongDate" />
    <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Redirect to port 3013" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="http://10.1.1.165/^m2m/([0-9]+)/([_0-9a-z-]+)" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                    <add input="{SERVER_PORT}" pattern="^3013$" negate="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="http://{HTTP_HOST}:3013/{R:0}" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
 </system.webServer>
</configuration>
