I am using Plesk Windows based web server with Windows 2008 server OS with IIS-6 for my e-commerce website.
I want to rewrite URLs for all dynamic pages, So I installed ISAPI_Rewrite 3 Lite on my web server also I had uploaded the .htaccess
file with the basic rules as follows
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^contact.html$ contactus.php? [NC,R]
I never worked before with ISAPI neither on URL- rewriting.
My doubt is
- How should I proceed after installation
- Should I upload
.htaccess
or httpd.conf
file OR This s/w has ISAPI_Rewrite Manager which gives place to edithttpd.conf
, Should I write rules on this.
Anyways I had tried all these steps but unfortunately I couldn’t find any remedies.
Any immediate solution will be appreciable.

You use ISAPI_Rewrite manager to load .htaccess or httpd.cong files. That’s it. You PLESK may have permissions issues with ISAPI_Rewrite. All you need to do is to remove PLESK admin users from NTFS permissions for ISAPI_Rewrite folder and for .htaccess files that are located in the root of web-site.
May be the problem is that you are using “Lite” version. One of its limitations would be
So you need to use httpd.conf probably.
