Hello,

I have the same setup/problem, and I'm assuming that I put this:

RewriteRule /(\w+)/([^/?]+) /index.php/$1/$2 [I,L]

in my .htaccess file.  The thing is that my windows server 2003,iis6 doesn't seem to be reading that file.  I can wipe everything in the file out and your isapi filter still works, just with the index.php:

http://www.domain.com/index.php/test/webpage.html

can I put that line somewhere else or force the server into looking at that .htaccess file?

Thanks,

Jim

I'm sorry, I figured out how to edit .htaccess:

RewriteRule /(\w+)/([^/?]+) /index.php/$1/$2 [I,L]

but now I get this error message:

Unknown expression on line #23: Options +FollowSymLinks

when I try and paste that in and apply with the Helicon Config Editor.

Any thoughts on that?

Hello Andrushka,

I didn't have anything in that log, or in httpd.conf, so I added:

RewriteLogLevel 9 to httpd.conf and it started logging like this:

198.10.10.10 198.10.10.10  Fri, 19-Feb-2010  09:01:15 GMT [www.mydomain.us/sid#283668804][rid#48832448/initial] (1) Htaccess process request C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite3\httpd.conf

Should this be pointing to .htaccess instead, I think the htaccess file isn't even being read.

I'm using Windows 2003.

Thanks,

Jim

No, it doesn't redirect. URLs in Joomla look like this:

http://www.mydomain.us/index.php/websites/test-sites.html

I can manually remove the index.php reference and the page loads, something it wouldn't do before, but hovering over links it shows index.php and also puts that in the url.
