For a full walk thru on creating the httpd.ini file and all the bits to make the link work try: http://expressionengine.com/forums/viewthread/29290/

It works like an absolute treat!

Bas :In my WordPress settings I make use of the “custom” permalinks option. Using the following structure:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
Maybe this helps?

Thanks, this indeed helped a fair bit. But not enough, see, having ISAPI_rewrite lite makes the config apply to all websites hosted on that IIS. So once I thought I fixed my site, other sites went nuts. Finally, I came up with various solutions, some more elegant than others, which you can find at my blog:

Thanks again for getting started.

Thanks for the tutorial, since I’ve been using WordPress for some time now. Just a small problem:

My host is using IIS and the ISAPI_rewrite module, but only the lite version. According to their site, I quote:
“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.”

So instead of my own ‘httpd.ini’, I used the global ‘httpd.ini’, as located in “C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite”. I edited it, to accept your rules, but the ‘index.php’ remains.

I tried adding a custom permalink structure in WordPress, removing the ‘index.php’, but this only gives me “Page Not Found” errors. Any help?

Cheers,

Well the fix is when you leave the line:

RewriteRule /(.*) /\?$1 [L]

out of the httpd.ini. When I did it worked nice!

Thanks for linking to my website. I still don’t get how you managed to get the index.php out of your URL, but i’ll have a look at it again some time this week.

Kind Regards,

Jaap.
