Hi,
Can anyone help me with URL rewriting please?

I have Wordpress installed and have the following web.config file for use with rewriting the wordpress url's:

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
<match url="*"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>
<add input="/forum" negate="true" matchType="IsDirectory" />  
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php"/>
</rule></rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>


This works fine and I have no issues.

My problem is trying to get WebWiz url rewriting working in conjunction with wordpress.

If I upload the WebWiz one into my /forum folder then I receive page not found errors.

I *think* I need to exclude my /forum directory from being re-written in the wordpress web.config file but I'm not really sure.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Dan

Thanks - it kind of put me in the right direction. I didnt realise the re-write module added itself under IIS.

What I was able to do was upload a web.config file for wordpress in the root of my website.
Upload a WebWiz web.config file in the /forum folder on my website

Run IIS manager, browsed to /forum folder, run the URL Rewrite module and disable the wordpress rule only for the /forum folder.

Fingers crossed all seems to be working ok now.

I have no idea how to manually write a web.config file to sort this out mind...

Thanks
