URL Rewrite

Posted by beachcompcom, 03-08-2010, 04:34 PM
Hi folks, I'm new to IIS7/Url rewrites. Im trying to make videos/playvideo.php?video=AjLlW8Uk8B0&feature=youtube_gdata&name=Eclipse%20Trailer Into videos/video-AjLlW8Uk8B0&feature=youtube_gdata-Eclipse_Trailer.html. My rule is: RewriteEngine on Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteRule ^video-(.*)-(.*) playvideo.php?video=$1&name=$2 But it simply will not work in IIS. Could anyone please point me in the right direction or tell me what I have wrong? I've been RTFM on IIS and no luck. Thanks!

writing regular expressions can be tricky. You might post the question on the mod_rewrite discussion board or consult the mod_rewrite cheat sheet. Good luck!

You're backwards The regex will match the uri and the last bit is where you are sending someone:

IIS 7 will import Apache rewrite rules with no issues.

You can use the new URL rewrite featured in IIS7. You will need to have the URL rewrite module installed. You can get the module from these sites. Please take a look. Download the x86 version for IIS 7.0 (http://www.iis.net/downloads/default...=34&g=6&i=1691) Download the x64 version for IIS 7.0 (http://www.iis.net/downloads/default...=34&g=6&i=1692) There are more articles relating to it and it clearly explains how to create rewrite rules. http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/461/c...ewrite-module/ Hope this helps for you.
