Wordpress permalinks error

[blagui Profile]

Hi,

Having issues trying to activate permalinks on wordpresse.

ISAPI REWRITE Rules:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

We currently have issues with categories.

Permalinks setup: /%post_id%/%category%/%postname%

Do you have any idea or such rules that works fine with IIS/ ISAPI Rewrite/ Wordpress

Ah IIS 8.

Thanks

Please try to modify rules as follows:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL} (.+)
RewriteHeader X-Original-URL: (.*) %1

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]



Also I would suggest to use Helicon Ape for IIS 8 instead of ISAPI_Rewrite as it is much more featured and has better Apache compatibility - http://www.helicontech.com/ape/doc/compatibility.htm
With Ape your rules would work without modifications.
