IIS 6.0 Windows 2003  PHP 5

Path:  c:\inetpub\wwwroot\d2h\

Testing with Version 3.0

Do you have to restart IIS after modifying the rule?

I have two map files.  One for categories(mapcat.txt) and one for products(mapprod.txt).

Current: http://www.domain.com/results.php?category=9

I would like:  http://www.domain.com/category/tshirts_adult.php

mapcat.txt

tshirts_adult          9

tshirts_youth        10

tshirts_junior        11

current: http://www.domain.com/details.php?prodId=26&category=10&secondary=&keywords=

I would like: http://www.domain.com/products/3:16_Number_Blue.php

mapprod.txt

3:16_Number_Blue            26

3:16_Number_Red             18

Here my rules basically copied right out of the examples

# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file

# Version 3.1.0.51

RewriteEngine on

RewriteLogLevel 9

RewriteBase /

RewriteMap mapcat txt:mapcat.txt

RewriteRule ^category/([^?/]+)\.php /results.php?category=${mapcat:$1}

RewriteMap mapprod txt:mapprod.txt

RewriteRule ^products/([^?/]+)\.php /details.php?prodId=${mapprod:$1&category=10&secondary=&keywords=

No change in url

Please try to use this config:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteLogLevel 9

RewriteBase /

RewriteMap mapcat txt:mapcat.txt

RewriteRule ^category/([^?/]+)\.php$ /results.php?category=${mapcat:$1}

RewriteMap mapprod txt:mapprod.txt

Thank you Anton,

My understanding on this stuff is backward.   I purchased a e-commerce solution that generates this type of url http://www.devoted2him.com/results.php?category=9 which I thought your software took that and made it look like this http://www.domain.com/category/tshirts_adult.php.  So, my application needs to generate friendly url to begin with. Am i still confused.

Your rule did work accept the images were missing and the css was not applied.  Those files are in different directories.
