TDub Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Has anyone gotten SEO URL's working with IIS? Since IIS doesn't have a mod_rewrite capability, I'm wondering if there's another way. I know there's a third party rewrite for IIS, but I've never gotten that to work. Interestingly, Wordpress has SEO friendly URL's that work on IIS without a mod_rewrite capability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmccny Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Look at ISAPI Rewrite by Helicon Tech. It offers almost 100% compatibility with Apache mod_rewrite and is fully compatible with WHMCS SEF URLs. We've been using it with WHMCS for almost 2 years now. Well worth the $$ in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDub Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks, that's actually the one I was thinking of that I tried and could never get working right. But it sounds like you've got it working with WHMCS so I may have to give it another look. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmccny Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yes, it worked right out of the "box" with WHMCS and Wordpress with no modifications to the .htaccess file on Server 2k8 / IIS7. The current release is very stable, although I'm using their x64 distro, not sure if that makes a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDub Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ok, this one was solved. The identity the application pool was running under was not also added to the Rewrite directory or the domains folder. So Rewrite couldn't execute. Once I was able to get the logs to start displaying useful information the Access Permissions errors got me going in the right direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmccny Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 That good information to know for future reference if anyone else runs into that problem. Thank you for sharing that, and I'm glad that you got it running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onionman Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 had it working fine using Helicon APE, ISAPI rewrite as well as the IIS 7 URL rewrite module, although this required translating the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
