I'm tranferring a website to an IIS based hosting party with V2.x Asapi enabled, but I am having trouble translating the rewriting rules from the htacces file to de httpd.ini

Can someone please help?

Basicly what I am trying to do is:

Exclude existing directories

Exclude existing files

All other url's should be redirected to /site.php?url=$1

The latter should translate like:

http://www.mydomain.com/en/for-sale/ to

http://www.mydomain.com/site.php?url=en/for-sale/

This is the current htacces file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /site.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

I have been trying several things based on the forum, seem to mix up the syntax.

Thanks!

Many thanks for the reply!

Not very convenient indeed. Could you help me with the code if rewriting is based on the second part of the url? Thus not excluding existing directories and files, but defining when to rewrite.

Meaning in this url: http://www.mydomain.com/en/for-sale/alfaromeo-gti/

the /for-sale/ part,. That could be limited to approx. 8 variations, like sold, projects, restaurations.Would that be like:

RewriteRule /(?for-sale.*)/([^.]+) /site.php\?url=$1 [I,L]

for each variant?

Your help is most apreciated!

Ok! then please 2 more questions:

I would like the url parameter to be (en/for-sale/alfaromeo-gti/), without the first / if possible.

Second: In this rule

RewriteRule (/en/for-sale/[^.]+) /site.php\?url=$1 [I,L]

you also included the /en/ part. (It signifies the different languages on the site and increase the numer of rules) Can this part be left out?

Like

RewriteRule (*anythingbefore*/for-sale/[^.]+) /site.php\?url=$1 [I,L]

Thanks again!
