Using Vanilla With IIS 7

edited March 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I've just installed vanilla into my iis 7 installation under /forum and i am getting a 404 error (Yes i have done the configuration). I've heard its a prob with .htaccess is there a way to convert it to web.config or turn it off all together

    IIS isn't even officially supported, I suggest you search the forums for IIS there have been successful installs.

    you could try renaming the .htaccess, then try.

    grep is your friend.

    I've tried following other people's ways but they don't work. 404 every time.

    Is there a way of turning off these 'special' urls that need rules.

  • After converting the htaccess to web.config i can only go to this
    apexgames.co.uk/forum/index.php?p/dashboard/*
    any thing else 404's. Suggestions?

    I don't mean to bump an old thread but seem like no solution to this post and I think I do have a solution because this work for me.

    On site that run IIS, if you place the web.config file that I attached in to the same place as .htaccess then your rewrite rule should work just fine just like it would on apache

    file: web.config

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <system.webServer>












    </system.webServer>

    It won't let me attach or post the file so I rename the file to .txt so you will need to rename it back to web.config after you get the file.
