Hi
Installed full isapi rewrite 3 for evaluation on IIS6 with Plesk.
Seems to be working ok but only when I edit a specific site in IIS and add the filter manually to the filters list...
Is there any way that I can enable this filter at server level without having to edit new sites when they are created?

By default ISAPI_Rewrite in installed on server level and should work fine.
Please carefully check permissions as Plesk is likely to change them: http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/doc/security.htm

Hi Anton
If this was a permissions problem would it still not
work even when I added the filter manually to a site in
IIS?
I'm not doing anything else here and adding the filter
manually makes it work!

Please try automatic installation, after that check if there is an up green arrow near ISAPI_Rewrite3 filter in IIS - Web sites properties.
And please provide us Application log records.

Please try to put the following rule into httpd.conf:
RewriteRule .? - [F]
And make any request to the site.
If you get 403 Forbidden, ISAPI_Rewrite works fine, if 404 Page not found, there are some problems.

Hi Anton
This did not effect sites where the ISAPI filter had not
manually added in IIS...
Sites where I had manually added the filter responded
correctly with a "Forbidden" page.
Kind regards

That last test was in the global config (httpd.conf) in
the Helicon program folder...

So, if you say the test rule worked in httpd.conf, what problem do you encounter? Please explain in details what exactly doesn't work.

The test rule only worked on sites where I had MANUALLY
added the filter.
I was under the impression that after automatically
installing the filter on a server, it was available (and
active) for all existing and new sites without further
configuration (bar creating .htaccess files)!
Quote:
ISAPI_Rewrite will restart IIS during automatic
installation, the following services will be restarted:
IISADMIN, W3SVC. Also there is no need to manually add
any ISAPI filters or extensions to the site or global
lists. It will be done automatically during installation
and configuration process.
Sorry if this is my error and not the case!

All known problems related to Plesk are connected with permissions on httpd.conf, .htaccess and ISAPI_Rewrite.dll.
So please check all these permissions once again, make sure you removed all Deny records.
If the problem persist, please provide us terminal access to your server so we can further investigave the issue.

If this was a permissions problem would it still not
work even when I added the filter *manually* to a site in
IIS?

Yes, it may happen this way.
Please provide your complete configuration file(s) and error and rewrite log records for the specific non-working request.
