Hi guys,
I just installed JobberBase1.9 and the URL rewriting it's not working properly. My IDC said they can config the httpd.ini for me but I only have the web.config file. Can anyone convert this for me. I am new to this thing. I am a actionscript developer. Here is my web.config content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <defaultDocument>
            <files>
                <add value="index.php" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>

                <rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL1" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^([^/]+)/?$" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="?page={R:1}" />
                </rule>

                <rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL2" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="?page={R:1}&id={R:2}" />
                </rule>


                <rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL3" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="?page={R:1}&id={R:2}&extra={R:3}" />
                </rule>

                <rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL4" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="?page={R:1}&id={R:2}&extra={R:3}&referer={R:4}" />
                </rule>

            </rules>
        </rewrite>

    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Any help is appreciated.

Are you sure it's v1.3 not v3.1? 'Cause the 1st version was used so long ago and by so few people that I can hardly believe it...
Please confirm and then I'll write the rules for you.

yes, it's 1.3. THe host is in mainland China. They said 1.3 is free, I am quite disappointed at the IDC. But it's very bad for me. I also have host on Godaddy, they do good.

You see, version 1 is so obsolete that firstly, it doesn't support much of the suntax neede to covert the above config, and secondly, I can
hardly find a person who still remembers v1 syntax... It's truly obsolete...

I suggest you to find hosting supporting ISAPI_Rewrite 3 (there are quite a lot of them, e.g. http://www.helicontech.com/hosting/).
The rules will be:

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ \?page=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ \?page=$1&id=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ \?page=$1&id=$2&extra=$3 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ \?page=$1&id=$2&extra=$3&referer=$4 [L]

Hi Anton,
Yes, if that can't be solved I have to find another host. I chose a host in China because I am marketing that site in China.

Is the above rules based on 3.0 and I can just copy and paste to a notepad make name it httpd.ini? I know about the rewrite URL thing only after I bought the host in China. What should I replace REQUEST_FILENAME with?
Thank you very much for you help.
Regards,
Stephen

My IDC just said the rewrite version they have is actually 1.4, I guess that do not make much difference.
They gave me a sample httpd.ini for that version too
RewriteRule ^(.*)/archiver/([a-z0-9\-]+\.html)\?*(.*)$ $1/archiver/index\.php\?$2&$3
RewriteRule ^(.*)/forum-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\.html\?*(.*)$ $1/forumdisplay\.php\?fid=$2&page=$3&$4
RewriteRule ^(.*)/thread-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\.html\?*(.*)$ $1/viewthread\.php\?tid=$2&extra=page\%3D$4&page=$3&$4
RewriteRule ^(.*)/profile-(username|uid)-(.+)\.html\?*(.*)$ $1/viewpro\.php\?$2=$3&$4
RewriteRule ^(.*)/space-(username|uid)-(.+)\.html\?*(.*)$ $1/space\.php\?$2=$3&$4

Do you recall anything? I guess I have to find another host in China. I am really appreciate your help here.

The config I provided above should be used as is (REQUEST_FILENAME should NOT be replaced).
But this is the config for v3, so you need to store it in .htaccess file (NOT httpd.ini).

I would highly recommend you to find a hosting supporting ISAPI_Rewrite v3 as previous versions do not support RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}
checks which are quite important for you.

Thanks Anton, I do have the .htaccess file, I was told it's for Apache and web.config is for Windows. I have the exact same site working good on Godaddy. Now I bought a host in China I need to worry about the rewrite thing.
Anyway, I really appreciate your help, Anton.

"I do have the .htaccess file, I was told it's for Apache"
- not only for Apache, but also for ISAPI_Rewrite v3.
