Redirecting the site collection

Question

I have a site collection with URL https://MySharepoint.Dev.com/default.aspx.

I just want to know if some one browses to this it should redirect to https://MySharepoint.Dev.com without default.aspx page.

I have almost around 30 sitecollections like this. Is there any setting where we can just include like that?

Answer 1

I would use URL Rewrite module for this with pattern

(?:[^*]+)(?=\/default\.aspx)

In case you wish to get rid of /pages/ as well, use this for pattern

(?:[^*]+)(?=\/pages\/default\.aspx)

and Rewrite URL

{R:0}

It will tackle at least these scenarios

• http://mysp.com/sites/somesite/default.aspx
• https://mysp.com/default.aspx
• https://www.mysp.com/default.aspx?qsvalue=asdad
• https://www.mysp.com/sites/asdasd/default.aspx?qsvalue=asdad

Details on configuring URL Rewrite module can be found here.
