Google Friendly ISAPI Rewrite for IIS (Archive Files)
by
28 Jun 2005
Hi Guys I just wanted to share with you my findings on using ISAPI Rewrite on IIS to get the archive links on v3.0.7 to display google friendly. eg: From: http://www.domain.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-1.html To: http://www.domain.com/forum/archive/t-1.html Here is how its done: Install ISAPI Rewrite from http://www.isapirewrite.com there is a 30 day trial or a free lite version. once installed edit the httpd.ini file and add the line: RewriteRule /forum/archive/([^/.?]+\.html) /forum/archive/index.php\?$1 [I,L] Now edit the index.php and global.php in the ARCHIVE FOLDER. eg: /forum/archive/ Find and replace 'index.php?' with '' Save both files. Thats it - browse to your archive pages: http://www.mydomain.com/forum/archive/ And you have very friendly google links! NOTE: Requires Windows Server and IIS (Internet Information Services) this will not work on Apache (although there is a very good mod_mime hack to do the same thing on Apache) Regards myMigration |
