wordpress rewritecond and rewriterule

[cupboy Profile]

Anyone have a sample httpd.ini (I assume that's the filename used with this product) file I can use for wordpress? I tried a search for this but my search was too "common" so it refused. I'm sure this question gets asked over and over. Sorry about that.

Here's my current file that doesn't work quite right:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
RewriteCond URL !^/wp-.*
RewriteRule /wp1/(.*)$ /wp1/index.php/$1 [I,L]

If I remove the RewriteCond everything is ok up to a point, bit I won't be able to login (wp-login) or do any administration.

Here is my search results. Hey great. Thanks. I love it:

I don't see any way to edit my previous post. Here is more info:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
# IIS 6

# page isn't redirecting properly if there is a wp- because the RewriteCond is incorrect
# http://www.example.com/wp1/wp-login.php
# I need to match to /wp1/wp- (the two ways I've tried are shown below)

# Line 3: Unrecognized string: RewriteCond %{HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL} !^/wp1\/wp-.*
# Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL} !^/wp1/index.php/wp-.*

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL} !^/wp1/wp-.*

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL} !^/wp1\/wp-.*

RewriteRule /wp1/(.*)$ /wp1/index.php/$1 [I,L]

I've determined dotster must not be using this HeliconTech product. I have no idea what they use. They probably don't know either.

If you use dotster you may want to setup the IIS 6 httpd.ini file to look similar to this, to avoid index.php being in the URL:

Code: Select all

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
# For file-based wordpress content (i.e. theme), admin, etc.
RewriteRule /wp1/wp-(.*) /wp1/wp-$1 [L]

# For normal wordpress content, via index.php
RewriteRule ^/wp1/$ /wp1/index.php [L]
RewriteRule /wp1/(.*) /wp1/index.php/$1 [L]

# Be sure to put this rule at the bottom
RewriteRule /wp1/(.*)$ /wp1/index.php/$1 [I,L]

You may also want to know that the rules you provided will work for ISAPI_Rewrite 2, not 3.
ISAPI_Rewrite 2 uses httpd.ini, while ISAPI_Rewrite 3 - httpd.conf. Also, the syntax is a little different.
