Mod Rewrite on IIS (Wordpress)

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get mod rewrite working but I am having a lot of trouble.

I am trying to use Wordpress Permalinks within IIS 6 but I am having a lot of issues getting it working.

Does anybody know a good way to get mod rewrite working?

Thanks

 

You must use a mod_rewrite compatible tool such as IIS Mod-Rewrite Pro (www.micronovae.com/ModRewrite/ModRewrite.html)

There are more url rewriting tools at available at
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rewrite_engine
Note, though, that most of them are not compatible with mod_rewrite so they may not work.

Also, check out this guide:

Right...it's not easy to mimic the same permalink on IIS which works on apache.

 

Sure it is easy to replicate it in IIS; you just need to use a .NET language to do so. With the next verions of IIS (in vista and 2k8) it will have better options for url rewriting by default.

Running a PHP site on IIS is going to be a painful experience in and of itself, even more so if you try to rewrite the URLs. In my opinion PHP on IIS should be avoided. They did just release fast-cgi for IIS that should help quite a few of the issues, but I would still avoid it.

I am all for the right tool for the job; IIS for ASP and *NIX for PHP/Ruby/Perl/etc

 

Hmm...linux is still the best bet for open source apps.
Leave those apps for linux...if porting over to windows, there's nothing more but troubles.
