Hey gurus,
I've just started using the software today and am having some issues I will pass off as learning curve. Hoping someone can help me spot my issue.
Scenario: IIS Server 6.0, running as localhost for dev purposes
Project: ASP.NET project with 1 page that prints out a test parameter that is supposedly being printed to the url after the '?' via the ISAPI filter.
Project structure:
/Test.aspx
I have configured the following rule file (.htaccess):
# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.1.0.50
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z1-9]+)/? Test.aspx?key=$1 [NC]
My /Test.aspx simply prints out the key parameter value (e.g. if key=test, the page says "your key was: " + test). Cookie-cutter example.
when I login with http://localhost/randomword/ I would expect to see "your key was: randomword" in my Test.aspx page. Instead I see "your key was: Test". Anyone able to tell me what is wrong with my URLrewriting line? I am expecting any folder of chars/nums to be parsed out and used as my 'key'.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z1-9]+)/ Test.aspx?key=$1 [NC]
That line will work... after rebuilding my matching string from scratch step by step I figured that one out. Notice the missing '?' on the match. can someone elaborate to me how that would affect it so much? I read the documentation on non-greedy repeats but it isn't exactly clear if you don't know what they are.
Thx,
Rob

Please check if you don't have ISAPI_Rewrite filter installed twice.
And try the following rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z1-9]+)/?$ Test.aspx?key=$1 [NC]

How can i confirm if it is installed once or twice?
Edit: It does appear to be installed twice, unless I am confused as to functionality.
simple test:
create 4 html pages: test1.html, test2.html, test3.html, test4.html
each page has 1 line of text in it: "This is page 1(or 2,3,4)"
Ask for localhost/test1.html and I get a page that says "This is page 3".
My re-write rules for this test are:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^test3\.html test4\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^test2\.html test3\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^test1\.html test2\.html [NC]
Question: How would i find where the filter is installed twice at and remove one of the installations?

Please try these rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^test3\.html$ test4.html [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^test2\.html$ test3.html [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^test1\.html$ test2.html [NC,L]
ISAPI_Rewrite filter should be installed globally, please make sure you don't have it installed on site level also (IIS - Web Site Properties - ISAPI filters).

Thanks Anton!
I went and uninstalled the product then reinstalled it and it seems to have solved the problem. Although I have a lot to learn still about the syntax of the .htaccess files at least now the behaviour is logical. The two filtering was really the source of most of my issues. :)
Cheers!
