Hi
I've got Isapi-Rewrite 2.0 running with IIS 6.0 and have placed a httpd.ini in the wwwroot of the website, with the following rule:
RewriteRule ^/all-new-products\.html$ /index.php?/category/listall [L]
Showing a 404 not found at the moment but I guess IIS needs re-started for it to pick up any changes in a virtual directory httpd.ini? Don't see notes on this in the documentation...
Is it sufficient just to re-start the particular site?

PS Do you explicitly need
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
within the httpd.ini? There seems to be some confusion here..
also could the file also be called httpd.conf?
I'm seeing some conflicting advice in documentation
Thanks

If you are using Isapi_Rewrite 2.0you don't need to use RewriteEngine on, RewriteBase / directives, and your config must be httpd.ini.
Please try to correct your rule like this:
RewriteRule /all-new-products\.html /index.php\?/category/listall [I,L]

Thanks.
What do the [I,L] denote?
Also do you need a full server re-start to pick up changes in the http.ini or would a simple site re-start be enough.
I don't have control of the server and need to pass this advice on.
Thanks

Ok, so with ISAPI Re-write 3 I guess you do need the ReWrite Engine and ReWrite Base rules? as in this page here
http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/doc/examples.htm
Also do you need the ^ and $ characters as well?

Please, read documentation on the RewriteRule directive syntax.

There is no need to restart anything. Simply perform at least two requests to a site affected by an updated configuration and configuration file will be reloaded.

In most cases these characters are useless in the ISAPI_Rewrite 2 patterns.

ok so since am using ISAPI_Rewrite 3 then my original rule should have worked fine
RewriteRule ^/all-new-products\.html$ /index.php?/category/listall [L]
if I change it to
RewriteRule ^/all-new-products\.html$ /index.php\?/category/listall [I,L]
And without a re-start of IIS it should be picked up. I have it named as httpd.ini and also httpd.conf. Still not being picked up.

Ah, I guess for rules for a specific website sitting in a directory the file should be .htaccess
