The Joomla! Forum ™

Hello,

tried to search through the google/forums for a 2 hours with no results..
I have just made website with Joomla 1.7 which is running on IIS7 (PHP as FastCGI).
Finally managed SEO, especially URL rewriting.

What did i do?
1) Installed "IIS URL Rewrite Module 2" x64 version on server
2) Renamed web.config.txt -> to web.config
web.config text:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="base64_encode[^(]*\([^)]*\)" ignoreCase="false" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="(&gt;|%3C)([^s]*s)+cript.*(&lt;|%3E)" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})" ignoreCase="false" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="_REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})" ignoreCase="false" />
</conditions>
<action type="CustomResponse" url="index.php" statusCode="403" statusReason="Forbidden" statusDescription="Forbidden" />
</rule>
<rule name="Imported Rule 2">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<add input="{URL}" pattern="^/index.php" ignoreCase="true" negate="true" />
<add input="{URL}" pattern="(/component/)" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<add input="{URL}" pattern="(/[^.]*|\.(php|html?|feed|pdf|raw))$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

3) After all i get HTTP 500 Internal server error.

I am having the same problem. Have you managed to find a solution?

Still the same. I will write if i will find. I ask you too.

Also i cannot use Administration Panel. Maybe is it way to rollback this option dont enable somehow ?

I just disabled my sefs so I can carry on with development. Will look into it and let you know

How to disable sefs without joomla administration panel ?

Open your "configuration.php" file and match these values:

public $sef = '0';
public $sef_rewrite = '0';

Save and close

Hello, thank you for your answer but my configuration php is empty.
My configuration.php is 1 line full og NULL NULL NULL ... etc

is it ok ?

I hate to say this but welcome to the club. I have the same issue on Arvixe. No solution. If u find one please share

I was running url rewrite on my server with Joomla 1.5 with no problems.
I only hit a snag with 1.7

I did find a solution. This worked for me:
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/527/inst ... la-on-iis/

I met the error 500 when I try to update Joomla. So hard!CAD SERVICES

I still have the same issue. My webmatrix version updated fine. But my shared host version dies

I had the same problem with the 500 error and messed around with it for hours. Finally disabled SEF URLs, Gzip compression and ALL Third Party extensions, and reinstalled. Voila, it works! Now it's a matter of re-enabling each extension one by one to see what caused the issue.
