301 strip aspx from URL in IIS

We changed our blog and now the url's don't have .aspx on the end of them but the URL is still the same otherwise. So

/blog/post/Using-Memory-Theory-to-Increase-Inbound-Results.aspx.

becomes

/blog/tips/using-memory-theory-to-increase-inbound-results

I'd like to 301 all of the old url's to the new link.

This is the rule I tried but it' redirects to the 404 page:

  <rule name="Rewrite old blog to PHP format (compound route)" stopProcessing="false">
          <match url="([^/]+)/([^/\?]+)\.aspx$" />
          <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?route={R:1}&amp;page={R:2}" redirectType="Temporary" />
        </rule>

Open in new window

To clarify, do all of the old urls include /blog/post and all the new ones are /blog/tips ?

Oh good catch I didn't even notice that. All of the old url's are blog/post and the new urls are blog/category but the biggest category is tips so I can just have blog/tips be the default.

I apologize just tested it and it works even if you put post instead of the category.
