Hiya,

Ape looks like the product that could solve my problem however I cant get it to work. My .htaccess is like this -

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

Can I also add that I probably didnt explain things very well. Im not using IIS to import rules from .htaccess (it cant!) now Im hoping APE will do the job. If anything it just stops my zen cart from working

as I said, Ive tried classic and integrated mode but I get a 500 error or 503 error depending on what I do.

Disable APE and my zen cart works again! I dont mind paying for full product if I can get this to work!

Also please enable logging in httpd.conf and provide rewrite and error logs records for the specific non-working request.

OK I will do this now.

Hi Anton.

I cant find httpd.conf on my windows server. Im running PHP as a service and my site is working in IIS (running php).

Where do I look for this?

Hiya,

Ive looked in programs (x86)\helicon and I found two log files - one empty and one that says errorlog and one that says rewrite.log

rewrite.log is empty and error log says [24/02/2010 10:55:09] [LicenseManager] Site with id=1 is working with free license
 about 30 times.

Sorry if this is like pulling teeth ;)

Hiya Anton thanks for the reply.

My .htacess now looks like this : -

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^test$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

So with IIS in integrated mode I get (after a long pause) :-

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

With IIS in classic mode my website works but the ape manager says - 'the application works in the application pool running not in integrated mode'

Can you tell me which is right?

Thanks,

G
