Hi,

Input: I've created home page with name index.aspx

When i'm trying to open site by domain name (for ex. site.com) - Sitefinity redirect me to site.com/index.aspx
How can I keep site.com (without home page name) ?

Thanks in advance.

Resolved by modifying following line in web.config:

<cms defaultProvider="Sitefinity" pageExtension=".aspx" disabled="false" redirectToHomePage="false">

I've added redirectToHomePage="false" and it works now.

Hi all,
I've also wanted to fix this issue and have done so by implementing the code below. The problem I have now is that the dynamic navigation controls still link to the ~/home URL which I've solved by added a 301 from ~/home to the root domain, but now I can't edit the page in the backend.

Is there a way to explicityly redirect when the url is ~/home, but NOT when the url is ~/home?cms

The code I'm using to redirect is currently this:

<system.webServer>

  <rewrite>

    <rules>

      <rule name="0B" stopProcessing="true">

        <match url="home" ignoreCase="false" />

        <action type="Redirect" url="http://domain.com" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="false" />

      </rule>

    </rules>

  </rewrite>

I've tried adding patternSyntax="ExactMatch" to the <rule> but that doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi,
Cqan someone from Telerik comment on this please? I have loads of SEO professionals on my case about this problem. They all want client websites to have one home page at say www.mywebsite.com rather than www.mywebsite.com/home.aspx.

Is there a workaround in SF 3.7? Does SF 4.4 handle this?

Thanks in advance
