Using rewrite with IIS 6 and ISAPI_rewrite
I'm trying to install this for an IIS installation, particularly the mod_rewrite part, using ISAPI_rewrite. I was wondering what the purpose of the first rule you have was:
Code:RewriteRule ^forum.* index.php [L,NC]
Can anyone tell me what this does in plain english? I'm having limited success with this, and will post the mod code for IIS if I can get the rewrite part to work..
What I've done so far, is to make the rules static, like
Code:RewriteRule /forum/forum-([0-9]*).* /forum/viewforum.php?f=$1 [L,I]
This rule passes the tests when using the regular expression test tool. The problem seems to be coming from the first rule, because if I replace that rule with this:
Code:RewriteRule /forum/forum.* /forum/index.php [L,I]
then it makes it so that every link you click on the forum index as a guest takes you back to the forum index..
Anyone?
Edit: I just removed the line and everything appears to work.. Here's what I did, including the rest of the rewrite mod, in the proper context. Note, you must install ISAPI_rewrite first, and I am using the Lite version, so changes made here will be global for any IIS server. Also, any changes made to httpd.ini must be followed by running iisreset /restart at the command prompt for the changes to be effective. (/forum/ is my forum folder, so you will need to replace occurrences of this in the httpd.ini and robots.txt for yours with the correct folder name)
