Redirects in IIS
"this site contains multiple redirects and the request is unable to continue" means that there is a loop, it redirects to it self

Is there a best practice for handling episerver sites on a top domain level?
My solution was creating a webroot-folder for each site, ala's:
www-fi
www-et
and pointing each site to it's corresponding catalogue. I also had to add the following to the web.config file;
That very much redirects me to the appropriate language when trying to access www.mysite.fi, but i doubt this is the correct way of doing it.
Thanks for your replies, Henrik's link pointed me in the right direction.
Ahmet: As you can see in my screenshot, I did exactly that without any good result :/

Do you have multiple sites or multiple language branches mapped to different domains within single site?

Robin I wouldn't create two different directories for the two top domains. Instead I would create two bindings in IIS for the two top domains and have them go to the same web root.
Then I would have some redirect rules to correct a user going to www.mysite.fi/et to www.mysite.ee/et.

Valdis: Yes, we have multiple language branches mapped to different domains within a single site. www.mysite.fi/fi and www.mysite.se/fi for example. If thats what you mean..?
Toni: That sounds like a better plan, how would I implement these redirect rules though? Via a RedirectProvider?

Robin, if you have multiple language branches in single site why not just use host binding and strictLanguageRouting? Johan can enlight you more:

Valdis nailed it, strictLanguageRouting was exactly what I needed. Thanks everyone!

Hi,
Im having an issue with using the built in HTTP Redirects in IIS and my Episerver 7.5 site. I have multiple sites configured like this;
www.mysite.fi -> goes to root folder www-fi
www.mysite.ee -> goes to root folder www-ee
The different sites have different languagebranches, such as;
www.mysite.fi/fi
www.mysite.fi/sv
www.mysite.ee/et
www.mysite.ee/ru
I would like to configure so that when the user tries to access www.mysite.fi it gets redirected to www.mysite.fi/fi and the same goes for www.mysite.ee, the user gets redirected to www.mysite.ee/et when trying to access this site. When I use this configuration;

I do indeed get redirected, but I get presented with an error saying something like "this site contains multiple redirects and the request is unable to continue".
Do I need to override episerver-redirects in order to solve this? Do i need to modify my config-files?
Thanks!
