IIS Woes (Yes another one)

[eluser]umbrella[/eluser]
Hi everyone,

I have a client who wants a site installed on this IIS6.0 server.
I can see www.thewebsite.com and www.thewebite.com/index.php.
Its when I want to use the URI www.thewebsite.com/articles/ it doesn't work.
BUT it does work with index.php/articles/, so my guess is .htaccess problem?

My current one looks like so..

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Im testing the website in a subfolder, would that be causing the problem?

My config file is set

Code:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php?";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";

Anyone got any idea?
I miss apache

IIS doesn't recognise .htaccess, it is Apache technology.

Try this:

You can have .htaccess with IIS I swear....

Edit: Oh look a link.

[eluser]umbrella[/eluser]
you guyssssss
I've been trying all the solutions on this forum.
None of them seem to work!!
waaaa

Back to apache you go.

How did you go with wiredesignz's link?

It's not native to IIS so you will have to installed/purchase something...

[eluser]wiredesignz[/eluser]
You only had to ask

Actually the second link is freeware, looks good too.

I don't really have a choice of ISP.
If I could go back to Apache i'd already be there
I'm looking for more a "Free" approach, maybe using old pinball machine parts?

[eluser]wiredesignz[/eluser]
I like it so much I'm posting it again.
Let's hope the forum search engine will see this when other folk search too.

.htaccess style mod-rewrite for IIS Windows Servers. (freeware)

Yeah I didn't see the second link
This seems pretty happening, not sure how to use it as yet but I'll give it a good dig.
