windows = xp pro? Hi

My iis webserver works fine and and is configured with php, mysql etc, but when i add:

Isapi filter: D:\rewrite\IsapiRewrite4.dll

(i also added IsapiRewrite4.ini to my d:\rewrite directory)

and under directory security i have my current admin user:
MPC\web_user

i then restart iis services, and i get:


HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Information Services

not even .html pages will open from my webserver:
http://mpc/head.html

i checked services:
IIS Admin
World Wide Web Publishing

And they are working fine in services, all started!

Strange but when i remove my: Isapi filter everything works fine, and i can view pages through iis, internet explorer as normal.

Reason i added a filter was because i need to rewrite urls produced by my php pages:

http://mpc/new.php?id="98"
to searche engine friendly urls without ? and without .php & with names

Thanks in advance

Kind Regards

What is IsapiRewrite4.dll? Is that straight outta the box for IIS? You may need to update your version of IIS, as far as I know, only IIS7 can handle things like url rewriting...

Or you could just install Apache Why run IIS if you're not using ASP anyway? PHP and Apache go well together, and you wouldn't have to use some non-Windows supported method for rewriting URLs.
