Drupal using the imagecache module automatically creates an .htaccess in the drupal/files folder. It also creates one in the drupal main folder. I would just delete drupal/files/.htaccess, but it keeps getting rewrote. Removing write permissions to IIS is not an option either.

How do I get ISAPI_Rewrite to ignore the the drupal/files one and only use the main one?

Thanks.

My solution was to just repeat the same rules in the nested child .htaccess, but an ideal solution would be if it would notice the parent .htaccess also.

You may use AccessFileName directive to have different name for ISAPI_Rewrite configuration files. Please read details here http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/doc/AccessFileName.htm

Editing the nested .htaccess in "sites/default/files" and added the default rules worked for me as well but I had to change the final rule to accommodate the new location of .htaccess. Using Rewrite 3.

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=sites/default/files/$1 [L,QSA]

Might be worth adding this to the Drupal instructions page.

@zeman

Nice one zeman! I'm using IIS6 on a Windows 2003 Serever and have spent the past 3 days trying to get imagecache to work. I've finally wound up here and this is the first sensible post I've read on how to slve the problem.

The trouble I'm having is it still doesn't work for me :( Are you saying that my .htaccess file in the sites/default/files directory should look something like this?

SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
Options +FollowSymLinks

#This is the code copied from the .htaccess in Drupal's root directory tacked on in here.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico

#The path below is no longer valid because this .htaccess file is in sites/default/files
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=sites/default/files/$1 [L,QSA]

According to the troubleshooting node on Drupal.org

http://drupal.org/node/224913#comment-2092722

I should be able to go http://mydomain.com/files/image.jpg and ISAPI_Rewrite should do it's thing and re-direct that request to http://mydomain.com/sites/default/files/image.jpg but I still can't get it to work...

Any ideas?

Many thanks

OMG!!!

Hold your horses! Yes it does!!! OMG OMG I've been so used to failure and bleeding out my eyeballs trying to get this thing working that I'd forgotten imagecache has to create the image (in it's cache) before the image file is created!!!

I WORKS!!! YESSSSS!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH.....
