Howdy,

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I cannot get the Rewrite lite to do anything at all.  Not sure if I configed it correctly. 

I am trying to get rid of index.php in my wordpress category URLs.  I am using WP 2.3.  I put wordpress under www.website.com/blog  I removed index.php from the permalink section.

My Server: MaximumASP, windows 64 bit, IIS6, SP2.  I have IIS running in 32 bit mode for some other reasons. 

I installed the 64 bit rewrite 3 lite under program files in a Helicon folder, it would not let me install the 32 bit version.  I am allowing ISAPI filters and I registered the ISAPI_Rewrite.DLL  httpd.conf is in the same folder. 

My expressions are:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Is there compatibility issues with rewrite lite?

Could the 64bit version in IIS 32 bit mode be the problem?

Do I need to bite the bullit and get the full version?

These rules cause the blog to not load without index.php, which is different than before, so maybe I am getting close since it is actually doing something.  Any advice? 

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php/$1 [NC,L]

I asked a regular expressions guru friend of mine and found that this werks:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ index.php/$1
</IfModule>

As I posted above, that is exactly what I tried and it only seems to work 1 past the base but not any further.  Maybe I configed IIS wrong?

Oh wait, I was wrong about the first reply you made, yours is a tiny bit different.  I'll try both just for fun but what I have seems to work.

I got mine to work by adding a condition.  Not sure if I am doing this right but it works good so I will try it for a while.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog/?
RewriteBase /blog
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ index.php/$1
</IfModule>
