Mark Wing promised that links like "http://..../default.aspx?id=ID" will be available in future.

In Gemini 5 it doesn't work. We use that links in lot of applications and resources. How to solve this?

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.

ANSWER

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.
