IIS Rewrite rule is stored in XML file that is deleted upon Web Publish












0















When I configure a rewrite rule in IIS, it appears in the folder in a file called web.config.



When I publish a website to the folder using MSDeploy, the file is deleted.



Is it possible to have IIS store the file somewhere else?

  • Maybe you can just include the generated webconfig in your web project and mark it as build action=none and copy always? It should then copy the file when you are using the msdeploy.

    if you do not want to have web.config rules in folder, you can use serverfault.com/questions/567191/… the 'Server level' option. If you are not the only citizen on IIS, use with care.

  • Doesn't seem to work at server level when there's an app/virtual directory in between. So I will save the file to the project and count myself lucky it works at all.
