Hello,

I've got two licenses for ISAPI_Rewrite 3, one being used on a Windows Server 2003 machine and the other being used on a Windows Server 2008 machine.

The 2003 machine works correctly. The 2008 machine appears not to be. Primarily, we've been setting up some wordpress installations and enabling permalinks. Here's one of the generated .htaccess files for dev.unleadedsoftware.com/wordpress:

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

# END WordPress

Whenever I follow one of the links, it just loads the home page with the new URL.

Here's a copy of error.log:

So it looks like it's redirecting, but not to the correct url. I'm using the automatically generated .htaccess files from wordpress.

The same .htaccess config works fine for wordpress installs on the 2003 server.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Please try to correct your config like this:

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

I just tried that modified .htaccess config and still no change. Every link still just displays the contents of the home page.

Please try to add the following script into your index.php file:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL']))
{
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'];
}

I've added that to the top of index.php in wordpress 2.5.1, and now rewrites work.

What's interesting is that the above script is already part of wordpress in the wp-settings.php file, so the question now is why isn't that being set...

Here's the code from wp-settings.php:

Code:

// Fix for IIS, which doesn't set REQUEST_URI
if ( empty( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ) {

    // IIS Mod-Rewrite
    if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL'])) {
        $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL'];
    }
    // IIS Isapi_Rewrite
    else if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'])) {
        $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'];
    }
    else
    {
        // Some IIS + PHP configurations puts the script-name in the path-info (No need to append it twice)
        //if ( $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] == $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] )
        //    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
        //else
            $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; // . $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];

        // Append the query string if it exists and isn't null
        if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && !empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
            $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
        }
    }
}

Hi idawgik!

We investigated it!
Actually IIS not provide REQUEST_URI variable.
And developers of WordPress used this feature in the first condition:

Code:

// Fix for IIS, which doesn't set REQUEST_URI
if ( empty( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) )

But maybe PHP sets this variable. So you may delete the first "if" block.
Also you can delete the code, which you added at the top of index.php
