Issue with redirection in IIS?

I have the following rule in IIS

     <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule1" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="apex" />
                <action type="Redirect" url="http://{HTTP_HOST}:8080/ords/f?p=1" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

This rule works fine and redirects URLs from

www.example.com/apex

to

www.example.com:8080/ords/f?p=1

I would like to get an URL without the port 8080 in it. So, when I change the rule type to Rewrite. It doesn't work any more. It omits the port and I'm getting the error:

404 - File or directory not found

How can I solve that?

Solution

  • I guess you are getting 404.4. If you didn't enabled detailed error message for your website. Then you will get 404 File or directory not found.

    Please install failed request tracing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=47333.

    Then go to IIS manager->server node->application request routing cache->server proxy setting->enable proxy.
