Http to Https Classic .asp site

Hi

Im looking for someone preferably discount asp staff that can help me implement https across my site.

I currently have SSl certificate installed through my account.

The site has some url rewrite/redirect rules - webconfig file written approx 4yrs ago

Ive looked at this knowledge base article https://support.discountasp.net/kb/a1524/force-https-with-url-rewrite.aspx and as im not a developer not quite sure how to integrate the suggested code with that already implemented on my site's webconfig file.

Im assuming that because i have the SSl cert installed once the http to https rule is implemented that I'll be good to go therefore I would be grateful if someone could help me out with this.

If it would help by uploading the current webconfig file code i could do this.

Thanks in advance.

Ps i have a wordpress directory on my site, i'm assuming that i can achieve my goals with a plugin as ive done on my other standalone wordpress site.

 

Hi & thanks RayH

Do i just add that to my webconfig file before ( on top of) the rules(s) that already exsit?

 

Read the contents in the link and now my heads going to explode!

that is the ms link in the article ...http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972974.aspx

but if you are just talikng about this snippet of code ...

<rewrite>

<rules>

<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">

<match url="(.*)" />

<conditions>

<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />

</conditions>

<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" />

</rule>

</rules>

</rewrite>

Can this just be added before the existing rewrite code?

 

Update

Ive tired adding the code to my current wedconfig file and no matter where i put it or how i edit it, it throws a 505 server error!

obviously im doing something wrong

any suggestions?

 

okay

i managed to connect to my site via iis manager.

I have tried three different tutorials that all differ slightly and could not get things to work.

Errors that i have encountered during my quest....

• 505 server error
• 'too many redirects' page could not load

I previously had a rewrite to show - www.mysite.com now it defaults to www.mysite.com/default.asp?

so ive obviously changed something even when i reupload the original webconfig file it has the /default.asp? url

Pointers please
