IIS Install Help

Postby octain » Sun Apr 22, 2007 3:13 am

I've installed the mod into a phpBB install under IIS and am getting blank pages.

Like no errors nothing, after the modifications to the php files nothing on the web site displays (the front page anyway), I've got debug mode active and still nothing.

I've got the ISAPI rewrite plugin installed, with the httpd.ini file in the root of the site, also have the guest sessions mod installed ok as well.

I'm not sure if the ISAPI plugin is running though, would this cause an error like this?

I wouldn't think that this plugin would affect the rendering of the first page.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance.

And welcome :D

Had you seen this topic ?

The httpd.ini would, according to the mod rewrite you're using be a little different, but the principles are there.

In your case, I believe the first thing to do would be to make sure isapi_rewrite is indeed available on your server.

To do so, you could follow the apache procedure, using :

Code: Select all
[ISAPI_Rewrite]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /find\.html$ /found.html[I,L]


in your httpd.ini instead of :

Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^find\.html$ /found.html [L]


in an .htaccess.

Once this checked, we'll see what else can be done, the blank page could indeed only come from the httpd.ini, have you tried to delete it just to see what happens ?

ok.... THANKS :D

It appears to be the ISAPI url rewrite that isnt functioning. I've followed the test example and its returning a 404 rather than the found.html page.

I'm wondering though. I am running multiple sites on this server, using win 2k3 with process isolation. I have givin the correct permissoins to the IIS_WPG group (all my worker accounts are members of this gourp), and I am using the "Lite" version of the ISAPI url rewriter.

I've read some things about the lite version limitation, could they becausing my issues?

Thanks,

Joel

I think so, but you can double check at helicon tech just in case.

As they say :

ISAPI_Rewrite Lite

This is simplified edition of ISAPI_Rewrite. It does not support per-virtual-site configurations, proxiing, metabase monitoring and automatic cache cleanup but all other features are supported. ISAPI_Rewrite Lite is completely FREE! It may be an ideal solution for the server hosting the only site, development or testing purposes.
