Hi there,

I have installed the full version of ISAPI Rewrite 3.0 - but haven't paid for it yet.

I can get the following directive to work only if I put it in the root http.conf file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/my-super-product\.html$ /2-3_product-detail.cfm?pid=84 [RP]

I have about 100 sites on the server and am trying to install this directive into one of the specific site directories.... but it is completely unresponsive unless that directive is in the root.

Could this be happening because I haven't licensed the product yet? Do I have to somehow enable rewrite on sub-sites... or is it something else?

Any ideas?

Thanks! Tim

Please put the following into the .htaccess in the root of your site:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^my-super-product\.html$ 2-3_product-detail.cfm?pid=84 [NC,R=301,L]

Hey thanks!

That is working, however, it is actually changing the URL.

I enter /my-super-product.html and after the page loads, the URL is actually changed to /2-3_product-detail.cfm?pid=84

I'm hoping to maintain the original value of the URL (my-super-product.html) so that it is not obvious to the user that they have been redirected.

Thanks! Tim

OK, I actually figured that out by changing my directive in the individual site's root folder to this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^my-crazy-product\.html$ 2-3_product-detail.cfm?pid=84 [RP]

This made it work perfectly...

But the weird thing is, if I try a very similar directive in another site's root folder, it doesn't work - I just get a Page Not Found error. I'm not sure why it would work in one site and not another.

Here is the directive:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^resources\.html$ 9-0_resources.cfm [RP]

Any ideas?

Thanks, Tim

Please check the permissions as per http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/doc/security.htm
And please use R=301 instead of RP as you are using ISAPI_Rewrite3.
