Hi all!

In DNN, I'm using Host Settings -> Friendly Url Settings to try and make a page url SEO-friendly. But I keep getting an error and I don't know why.  It would be great if somebody here can spot something I'm missing, or explain to me why this doesn't work.

Current URL format (successfully used by a module on the page):
http://localhost/dnn/Admin/MyPage.aspx?title=news-article-name-written-here

Desired URL format:
http://localhost/dnn/Admin/MyPage/news-article-name-written-here

"Friendly Url Settings" rule:
MATCH: .*/MyPage/(.*)
REPLACE WITH: ~/Admin/MyPage.aspx?title=$1

Error:
Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE/DNN"
Internet Information Services 7.5 Error Summary HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

As a side note, I don't want to buy any specialized DNN modules to do this (or use the free iFinity one). 

Thanks in advance for your help!  :)

unless you've edited the IIS metabase in iIS7.5 you will need to ensure that page names end in an extension (i.e. preserve the .aspx) otherwise IIS thinks you want a directory and cannot find that folder, hence the 404.

Thanks for getting back so quickly!  Actually, I did figure that out yesterday.  But just to be thorough, I'll post what I did to solve this problem:
  1. Installed the urlrewrite extension on my IIS (http://www.iis.net/download/urlrewrite)
  2. Added the following code snippet to the <system.webServer> tag of the dnn site's web.config:
<rewrite>
    <rules>
        <rule name="UrlRewriteService" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="^.*/MyPage/(.*)$"/>
            <action type="Rewrite" url="Admin/MyPage.aspx?title={R:1}" />
        </rule>
    </rules>
</rewrite>

Thanks again for your input!
