If you have ever wanted to convert an existing HTML-based website to an ASP.NET website, but you didn’t like the idea of losing the “page rank” of those pages, I have the solution. Recently, a friend asked for help on this subject, and since we couldn’t find sufficient information online, I am putting the steps to do this in my blog. In this first case, we wanted to use ASP.NET on long-standing pages that had .html and .htm extensions, but this can apply to all other extensions.

The first step is to tell IIS what system you would like the extension to map to.

1. Open your existing website in IIS
2. Browse to the Home Directory tab
3. Open the Application Settings Configuration (you should see a list of existing application mappings)
4. Click “Add”
5. Browse for the .NET Framework you want to use (e.g.: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll)
6. Enter the extension (such as .htm)
7. Limit the mapping to specific verbs (e.g. GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG)
8. Check Script Engine
9. Uncheck Check that File Exists
10. Click OK and close IIS

The last step is to update the Web.config for your website so that ASP.NET knows how you want to manage these new extensions. You will first need to add in a new HttpHandler inside of the System.Web node:

<httpHandlers>
<add verb=”*” path=”*.htm” type=”System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory”/>
</httpHandlers>

Finally, we will need to add a buildProvider:

<buildProviders>
<add extension=”.htm” type=”System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider”/>
</buildProviders>

Now save the Web.config file and run your ASP.NET -powered, non-standard-extension page!

For more information on BuildProviders,

Good luck!

One of the first problems I had when installing Funambol on Debian Linux 2.6 was that I did not want mobile device users to have to use the long URL associated with the default sync server settings.

I wanted to change this:

http://www.mydomain.com:8080/funambol/ds

To this:

http://sync.mydomain.com/

1. Connect to your sync server via SSH.

2. Change to /opt/Funambol/tools/tomcat/conf/Catalina (your path may vary).

3. Make a new path called sync.yourdomain.com.

4. Copy everything from localhost into sync.yourdomain.com.

5. Change to “sync.yourdomain.com”.

6. Open funambol.xml for editing using your favorite editor.

7. Change context path from “/funambol” to “/”, and make sure docBase=”funambol”.

8. Save funambol.xml.

9. Change to /etc/apache2/sites-available.

10. Copy the file “default” to a new file called “sync”.

11. Open “sync” for editing, and replace it with the following:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName sync.yourdomain.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ProxyRequests Off

<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://sync.yourdomain.com:8080/funambol/ds
ProxyPassReverse / http://sync.yourdomain.com:8080/funambol/ds

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/sync-error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/sync-access.log combined
ServerSignature On

</VirtualHost>

12. Save and close “sync”.

13. Change to ../sites-enabled

14. Create a symbolic link to the new “sync” file:

ln -s ../sites-available/sync

15. Change to ../mods-enabled

16. Create symbolic links to the proxy mod:

ln -s ../mods-available/proxy.load

ln -s ../mods-available/proxy_http.load

17. Change to ../sites-enabled

18. Remove 000-default

19. Reload Apache2 configuration: /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Remember that this is Open Source, and so your results may vary. If you found that your configuration required different steps, make sure to explain them in your comments to benefit future Funambol users. If you have questions, please comment as well.

The reason I created this blog is simple: some problems have difficult solutions but no one publishes them. It may be a “right of passage” mentality that keeps members of the more-experienced-than-you class from not posting solutions to everyday IT problems. They had to work through it. Why shouldn’t you? I think we can change that. One blog at a time.
