Redirect from a library path not working

Hello,

We recently launched a new site for our customer, and as part of this are trying to redirect links to documents to their new path. 

The old path looks like 'lib-docs/default-source/general-documents/document.pdf'

The new path is 'docs/default-source/general-documents/document.pdf'

So we created a redirect page accepting the first url and redirecting to the second, but we persistently get a 404 error when accessing the old URL.  Any advice on how to handle this within Sitefinity?

Hello Scott,

This issue is caused by a bug in Sitefinity as described in the below KB articel:

http://www.sitefinity.com/developer-network/knowledge-base/details/additional-urls-with-extensions-for-images-and-documents-do-not-redirect-to-the-default-one

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by this issue. As a workaround please use rewrite rules in your web.config file or redirect your users to the default document url in the Application Begin Request method in the Global.asax file.
