URL Re-Writing in Umbraco - Page Moved Under New Directory

I'm looking to use the URLRewriting.config within Umbraco to set up some redirects. The majority of them are working fine, but a few are causing headaches.

I have a page: /testpage.aspx which on the new site is now under /directory/testpage.aspx. I've tried a couple of rules, but they either fall into a loop, or just send me to the first page - which obviously gives a 404 error.

As far as I can tell, the rule below should satisfy this rewrite and work, but instead I'm just getting the original page - which is a 404 on this site.

<add name="Redirect400" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" redirect="Domain" ignoreCase="true" 
   virtualUrl="^~/testpage.aspx$" 
   destinationUrl="/directory/testpage.aspx" 
   redirectMode="Permanent" />

Those regular expressions (please correct me if I'm wrong), should be saying that any page that starts and ends with /testpage.aspx is redirected to the new URL? Can anyone offer any assistance on this?

there is bit change in your virtual URL because that only gets which has www.domain.com/testpage.aspx

It will not get following results:

  1. www.domain.com/abc/testpage.aspx
  2. www.domain.com/abc/main/testpage.aspx
  3. www.domain.com/abc/main/test/testpage.aspx

Please try following, I haven't tested it but I am guessing it is that.

<add name="Redirect400" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" redirect="Domain" ignoreCase="true" 
   virtualUrl="^~(.*)/testpage.aspx$" 
   destinationUrl="/directory/testpage.aspx" 
   redirectMode="Permanent" />

let me know if you need more help thanks
