Hey there,
I've read in a couple of different google searches, but have been unable to find a suitable solution. I'm running, well not me but the IT department, is running IIS as the web server. CI runs fine, however I'm required to set $config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE; and use the urls like /CI/index.php?c=controller&m=function instead of /CI/index.php/controller/function. This is kind of making me mad as some of the helper files do not work with URL's like this. What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this. /CI/index.php/controller/function gives me a 404, but not a CI 404, just a regular old 404.

Try adding ? after index.php, that seems to fix a lot of IIS issues, it's documented in the user guide

I tried that, nothing changed. It's weird too, because I'm getting inconsistent 404's errors, I think it might be the IT people who don't understand how to run a webserver. I get 2 different types of 404's, neither code igniter 404 though.

Actually good call, but now my site is like this, /CI/?/controller instead of /CI/controller... I can deffinately live with this, but if you know how to get rid of the ? that would be superb. Thank you in advanced.

If you're using a htaccess, you could tweak the rewrite rule to include the ? as needed

I didn't think IIS supported htaccess files. Also, I'm trying to avoid installing any type of isapi filters on the server as it won't be "supported" by the IT people downstairs.

You're right, how silly of me, I'm stuck in my apache ways lol
I guess you'll have to wait for an IIS expert to come along

lol no problem. I've tried my best to convince them to use linux/unix server environment, but they are afraid of change and learning new things.
