SEO/URL Rewrite on IIS7

I have tried searching the forum but did not find a solution that works for me.



How can I use the SEO Mod or enable URL Rewrite on IIS7/Windows Server 2008?



I have URL Rewrite already installed on IIS7 but do not know exactly how to make it work with CS-Cart.



Thanks.

CS-Cart was not really made for IIS. Your milage might vary as well as your security of CS-Cart.

incorrect. there is no lack of security running it on a windows server and it actually runs faster on IIS/Windows when PHP is properly setup.



however, this does not answer my question. anyone have any experience using the iis7 URL rewrite mod with CS-Cart?

Not at all, doubt there are more than a handful that use IIS, yet alone Windows Servers.

I have the same issue here. I'm using CS-Cart on Windows 2008 and IIS7. When I try to enable SEO Friendly URL, I get the following error: SEO-Friendly URLs are disabled. Check your webserver and URL manipulation engine settings. The solution presented in this forum (.HTACCESS file) does not work on IIS 7. Was anybody able to make this work ?



Thanks

To get SEO to work on windows, you just need to edit the web.config file in your root directory on your site. If it doesn't exist, you can just create it with the following (I used my rewrite rules, your may be a little different):

I'm windows fan too. I used IIS7 and enabled SEO add-on by installing ISAPI rewrite 3 in windows 2008, which is $99. Here's link they provide 45 days trial. Download ISAPI_Rewrite 3 - Apache .htaccess mod_rewrite compatible module for IIS



Good luck.

There is an import wizard in IIS 7 URL Rewrite add on. Download this and just import the [color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif].HTACCESS and it will convert it to a web.config file. Works and takes about 2 mins. More information [/font][/color]Importing Apache mod_rewrite Rules | Microsoft Learn
