[Project] Developing IIS mod rewrite

dcz

Exactly, except for the advanced, it's not required, I mean, you should freely choose between the three phpBB mod rewrite, and it will work on IIS server using the isapi rewrite module.

The IIS rewriterules mentioned above are meant for the advanced one, but I can provide the other one upon request.

So to make all this safe, you should first check is isapi rewrite is available on your server.

You can find more about the isapi rewrite module here : http://www.helicontech.com/

You could as well just test the mod to find out, but it would be better to do it on a test board. To do this you'd only need to add the httpd.ini file as suggested with proper paths at the root level.

Then, you could just try a nice postxx.html url where xx is an actual post id and see if you're redirected properly. If so, it's working Wink

The php code change are not this many and they are the exact same as the regular Apache version (I'll compile both httpd.ini and .htaccess in the same mod in the update). So you just need to add them and to use the suggested httpd.ini instead of the .htaccess.

Hi,

Did not replayed in while be a very havymakeover of my new home, allmost ready now so....
That's right just replace the .htacces rules by the httpd.ini and you have a the IIS mod.

Mod is working verywell for me, just worried about the tonload of suplemental results i have now, about 90%.
Hoping for an update really soon now, haven't checked my stats for while now because of the rebuilding of my home, It scared the hell out of me, took a dive in visiters of about 60 -70 %
BTW why the change back to the www Dcz ??

dcz

The dive is most likely due to the fact the switch was made a little after all redirections where active (a day or two if I recall well). But I did not think it would be this much.

Anyway, since you started talking about the www come back, take a look at how fast Google updated it's cache in this case. And there was absolutely no drop of any kind.

If you like we can start a new topic to go further into analysing what's happening now.
Do you still show up on your best keywords in SERPs ?

Hello!

Thank's for your support.

I've istalled the phpbb seo on my windows server but I've a problem.

The httpd.ini is on the main root:

SeO

Ho, but this thread is dealing with phpBB2 mod rewrite, not phpBB3.

Give searching a chance since I'm pretty sure the topic was treated, before you ask for it in the phpBB3 SEO category Wink
