    With IIS you will have to use web.config instead of .htaccess (which you can use with Apache servers)

    You can't use a .htaccess file on an IIS-server. .htaccess is for Apache webservers. You can, however, replicate some of the features of .htaccess using Helicon Ape : http://www.helicontech.com/ape/ - I've never tested it, but it seems to be the go-to solution for .htaccess needs for IIS.
