You could use the IIS url rewrite to route the url from the old to new. All you need is the issue id and chnage the url to http://your url/project/ALL/0/item/{id} |

Thanks. Looks good but I'm unable to install it on Windows Server 2003, it requires Service Pack and I already have SP2. Strange... Is there another way how to route the URL? |

Finally I found out that URL Rewrite is not supported on IIS6. So it is NOT solution for us. Backward compatibility is really important for us and I think it should be implemented by Gemini natively. Please do that. Thanks. |

No problem, we have created an app for that: http://www.geminiplatform.com/downloads/v5/Countersoft.Gemini.OldIssueUrl.zip Put the zip file in the app_data\apps folder and restart the web app. |

Thank you. I did it as you said, but it still doesn't work. It still gets 404. Just guessing: Shouldn't I unpack it? Other apps in the app_data\apps folder are unpacked... |

It should unpack when the app restarts. Did you restart the app? Check the system log for errors. |

I restarted the server completely and it works! It's strange. Do you have any idea why the server restart was needed? Will this app included into new version of Gemini? |

The app pool needed to restart so restart of the server did it. This up will be a seperate download as you just did. |
