Your match URL query is incorrect. &nbsp;If you were to switch it from this:<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
&lt;match url=”<a href="http://projects.domain.com”" rel="ugc">http://projects.domain.com”</a> /&gt;
</blockquote>
<br />
to this: <br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42086220-1"><span>&lt;match url=”(.*)” /&gt;</span>
</code></pre>
<br />
it should work. &nbsp;This is directly from the documentation you provided. &nbsp;Though this will redirect ALL traffic to this Azure instance, not just the FQDN because you have no condition setup.<br />

<div>
Hi,<br />
<br />
Yes I had that in originally and it still did not work. Same error message.<br />
<br />
Any other ideas?
</div>


<div>
The match URL needs to (.*).<br />
<br />
If is it still not working, you should try adding a condition statement, as recommended in the article you posted.<br />
<br />
Dan
</div>


<div>
Also, which server is reporting the internal error? &nbsp;The redirect may be functioning and it may be the destination website may be throwing the error.<br />
<br />
Dan
</div>


<div>
What happens when you do directly to this URL: &nbsp;<a href="https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx" rel="ugc nofollow">https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx</a><br />
<br />
Or whatever the destination of the redirect is.<br />
<br />

<div>
I originally had exactly the same information listed pin the article in mt web.config file.<br />
<br />
I changed it to see if it would work.<br />
<br />
Still have not been able to get it working.
</div>


<div>
Can you answer my last question?<br />
<br />
Dan
</div>


<div>
Okay I have changed the web.config file back to the original, plus the deafult.aspx. Still no joy :(<br />
<br />
&lt;configuration&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;system.webServer&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;rewrite&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;rules&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;rule name=”projects.domain.com”<wbr /> patternSyntax=”ECMAScript”<wbr /> stopProcessing=”true”&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;match url=”(.*)” /&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;action type=”Redirect” url=”<a href="https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx”" rel="ugc nofollow">https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx”</a> Jump appendQueryString=”false” redirectType=”Permanent” /&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;conditions&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;add input=”{HTTP_HOST}” pattern=”projects\.domain\<wbr />.com” /&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/conditions&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/rule&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/rules&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/rewrite&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/system.webServer&gt;<br />
&lt;/configuration&gt;
</div>


<div>
You wanna help me via live consultant? Go online.<br />
<br />
You use teamviewer?
</div>


<div>
The destination URL works fine;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<a href="https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx" rel="ugc nofollow">https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx</a><br />
<br />
This loads the main project online page.
</div>


<div>
One thing I didn't do is apply a certificate to the web app service. Do you think this could be causing an issue?<br />
<br />
How can I see the logs for this web app?
</div>


<div>
Just want to confirm, my wwwroot only has the one file in it; web.config. <br />
<br />
Should there be anything else uploaded, or should it work with just the single file?
</div>


<div>
I would place a default doc in the root of the website. &nbsp;This way you can see that you are hitting the site.<br />
<br />
As a test, disable the redirect (URL Rewrite), place a test html page in place. &nbsp;Does this page get displayed correctly?<br />
<br />
Dan
</div>


<div>
I removed the web.config file and copied in a default.html file with hello world inside it. <br />
<br />
When browsing to the URL it worked. It displayed hello world in the browser.<br />
<br />
What I did notice is that the URl for the site is <a href="http://projects.domain.com....what" rel="ugc">http://projects.domain.com....what</a>&nbsp;I'm trying to do is get it to re-direct and re-write the URL.<br />
<br />
So if you put in your browser http://projects.domain.com&nbsp;&gt; it redirects and changes the URL in the browser address bar to <a href="https://domain.sharpoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx" rel="ugc">https://domain.sharpoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx</a>. <br />
<br />
At the moment it leaves http://projects.domain.com&nbsp;in the address bar... so maybe that need tweaking. ???
</div>


<div>
I'm looking for the equivalent of a 301 redirection. This is what dnsmadeeasy call it in their http redirection service.
</div>


<div>
I understand what it is that you are trying to do. &nbsp;I just wanted to step back and verify that the website was functioning.<br />
<br />
Now that the site has been verified as functional, we can try the redirect.<br />
<br />
Just to be clear, you are placing real URLs in the web.config, correct? &nbsp;I would create the redirect rule as mentioned in the article and test again.<br />
<br />
Dan
</div>


<div>
When you say &quot;real&quot; URL's, yes I am placing my URL's in the web.config file that actually exist in reality. If I browse to <a href="https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx" rel="ugc nofollow">https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx</a>, it works and really exists and produces a website for project online project center.<br />
<br />
I've created the web.config file exactly like it states in the article. <br />
<br />
Here it is again, this is exactly what is in my web.config file now, apart from the word &quot;domain&quot; being swapped with my company domain name:<br />
<br />
&lt;configuration&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;system.webServer&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;rewrite&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;rules&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;rule name=”projects.domain.com”<wbr /> patternSyntax=”ECMAScript”<wbr /> stopProcessing=”true”&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;match url=”(.*)” /&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;action type=”Redirect” url=”<a href="https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx”" rel="ugc nofollow">https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx”</a> Jump appendQueryString=”false” redirectType=”Permanent” /&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;conditions&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;add input=”{HTTP_HOST}” pattern=”projects\.domain\<wbr />.com” /&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/conditions&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/rule&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/rules&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/rewrite&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/system.webServer&gt;<br />
&lt;/configuration&gt;
</div>


<div>
Thanks for picking up on some errors there. Just want to confirm that the bracket is required in this section<br />
<br />
pattern=&quot;{projects
</div>


<div>
After deleting the { bracket it is now working!!!<br />
<br />
Well done Dan, I feel a little embarrassed that I didn't notice these errors myself. <br />
<br />
Really appreciate all your help to get this working! :)
</div>


<div>
Oh, the bracket was my typo. &nbsp;Glad its working now.<br />
<br />

<div>
Thanks again Dan. Really appreciate you helping me out here.

<div>
No problem. &nbsp;Can you close the question?<br />

Azure Web App - HTTP Redirect - web.config file help

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
