OpenCart Community

Hi,

Does anyone have a web.config file for IIS that will rewrite SEO URLS in the same way .htaccess does for unix servers?

Thanks

I understand this is an old post but I figured I'd response in case somebody else is searching...
This is web.config I use and it seems to work for v1.4.9.4

SEO URL problem:
I just installed version 1.4.9.4, I have mod-rewrite is installed, removed .txt from the htaccess sheet, checked "Use SEO url's but it is not working. my cart is here www.petusa.net/cart can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance

Just save it in your root folder as web.config

Ok thanks I can do that. Also do I need to change the htaccess file name as well and check the box in the admin panel?

Thanks again for all the support...

the .htaccess file does nothing for you, that just the equivalent of a web.config file, but for apache. Just get rid of it.

Hmmm, I can not get it to work properly. After installing the web.config file and then selecting the use seo in the admin settings I get can't show web page 404 err on the site. It is showing the seo url in the address bar but we can not see the page? Again thanks for all the help and support.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
	<rewrite>
	  <rules>
	    <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">

	      <conditions>
		<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example\.com$" />
	      </conditions>
	      <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="http://www.example.com/{R:1}" />
	    </rule>
	    <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
	      <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
	      <conditions>
		<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
		<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
		<add input="{URL}" pattern="^/favicon.ico$" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
	      </conditions>
	      <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?_route_={R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
	    </rule>
	  </rules>
	</rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Thanks for posting this, worked a treat!

OC 3.0.3.6 and the posted rewrite rules for IIS still work.

Good that it still works, but how would I alter this if I had opencart in a subfolder: example.com/shop as I can't seem to get it working?
