Rewrite issue.

Hi There.

I was reading a tutorial here:
[url]http://www.phpriot.com/articles/search-engine-urls/2[/url]

and I tried to do it myself, however it didn’t seem to work.

I have some pages like this – index.php?page_id=[value]

and this is my .htaccess code

[CODE]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/page/([0-9]+).html /index.php?page_id=$1
[/CODE]

It doesn’t rewrite the URL for some reason, does anyone know why?

Thanks
Peter

@Jarrod1937Dec 27.2010 — Do you have mod_rewrite installed? What is the url you're trying to use with the rewrite rule? Have you created a simple test page and test rewrite to make sure it truly doesn't work? Sometimes its hard to differentiate between it not rewriting the url and it not rewriting it properly.

Yes I am using Windows 7, IIS7.5 so my local URL is '127.0.0.1'

@Jarrod1937

I install PHP via IIS7.5 and I made sure PHP was installed with all extensions installed. I have uploaded the script to my website but I would like to keep the olnik private so I will PM it to you.

Thanks

Peter

@Jarrod1937Dec 28.2010 — I could be wrong (i rarely use IIS) but i believe IIS does not support .htaccess files which is an apache only feature. Along with this, i believe there is no standard url rewrite module loaded with IIS and you'll need to install something like:

http://www.micronovae.com/ModRewrite/ModRewrite.html

or

http://www.iis.net/download/URLRewrite

And then follow its instructions on configuring url rewriting.

Success!
