Missing .aspx in URL in IIS 8

I've set up a new server with Server 2012 R2 and IIS and published an application to a new site. When I run the application in my development environment it shows the .aspx file extension in the URL but when I browse a published instance on the IIS server it removes the .aspx extension.

So somehow it has some sort of URL rewriting enabled out the box - how do I change this as I need it to be consistent with the development version. I installed the URL Rewrite extension to see if somehow any rules were configured but there are no rules defined.

Thanks!

You can configure your web.config file with rewrite rule (examplePage.aspx) like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration>     <system.webServer>         <rewrite>             <rules>                 <rule name="examplePage.aspx Redirect" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^(.*\/)*examplePage\.aspx$" />                     <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">                         <add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" negate="true" pattern="^POST$" />                     </conditions>                     <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent"/>                 </rule>             </rules>         </rewrite>     </system.webServer> </configuration> 

Hope that should work!

I have seen this behavior when creating a certain kind of web project in development. So it could be something installed that interferes. I guess you looked at the web.config already for anything, but if it is not there try the machine.config. Also, take a look in IIS itself, what is installed when you click on the root level (the one above the website).

Have you tried URL Rewrite. Let me know how it goes?
