Removing index.php in the URL (IIS Users?)

[ozcelik]

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to remove the index.php which appears in all URLs if IIS is used? I don't know why it is necessary to have it in the URL, but having index.php before directory names in the URL makes people think that something is wrong with the website...

I saw that it is possible to remove it by using mod_rewrite and some coding in the config.php if Apache is used, see:

Code: Select all

Is there a similar way for the IIS as well?

Jason

Hi Jason,

Unfortunately, nobody on the team here is particularly familiar with IIS. Perhaps someone else in the community has some specific experience; in the meantime, you might browse the thread at http://www.petefreitag.com/item/286.cfm.

I have the restful url to on and the following settings in the .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>




On the old server the website was working fine for each journal without .index.php but after the server is moved. This seems to be not working. Please help me as soon as possible.

Hi aambesha,

Please don't double-post -- if your question relates to OJS then please continue the discussion here; otherwise continue on this thread.
