Rewrite on Windows Server - Wouter60 - 09-23-2017
Not really a CodeIgniter question, but maybe someone can answer it.
I'm working in a project on Windows Server. There already are several web applications on it, written in native php.
For a new application, I want to use CodeIgniter.
All is going well, except hiding the index.php in the URL's. To make that possible, we need to use the rewrite extension (and set rules for it in a web.config file).
The rewrite extension voor Windows Server hasn't been installed yet.
The server operator is willing to do that, but he wants to be sure that the existing web applications will not be affected.
Is there any risk in merely installing the rewrite extension on the server?

As long as you don't have/add any rewrite rules (in the other projects) they won't be affected.
