We needed to get URL rewrites working on a Plesk 10 Windows server for a client wanting friendly URLs in WordPress. Turned out to be pretty easy ….
1. Make sure the Microsoft IIS URL Rewrite 2 extension is installed. You can find it here:
http://www.iis.net/download/URLRewrite
2. Create a web.config file in the folder where you have WordPress installed with the following:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true"> <match url=".*" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll"> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> </system.webServer> </configuration> |
