Spider Friendly URL's with IIS. · **Released**: 01-10-2003

This is borrowed heavily from fastforwards spider friendly hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=spider.

For those of you using IIS, you'll find that mod_rewrite and .htaccess are not options for you. Well, the same functionality is available for IIS.

First, you'll need to install ISAPI_rewrite from http://www.isapirewrite.com/ (there's a free version). If you don't administer the server, you'll need to ask the admin to install.

After the rewrite dll is installed, it's a piece of cake from there by following the instructions attached.

Additionally, I installed the following hack so that I can have non members (including search engines) view the forums in the friendly fashion, and all members

see the true links. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=styles

I'll do what I can to support this, but I am sure a lot of folks here can add to this or modify it to be even better. It has been working great for me. A good site to view is fastforwards site at http://dbforums.com/

Kick ass! I'll definitely be trying this soon! Any new comments or discoveries before I do? What about stealth forums? Do they show?

Could someone please elaborate a bit more for me? I've installed this, and basically copied Cobra's httpd.ini, but nothing's working yet. I'm doing something wrong, obviously.

Could you please post your entire httpd.ini file (or is that it above?), so I can take a look? I'm not clear on exactly what needs to go in it.

Actually, a little more step by step process would be much appreciated, if you'd be so kind. Can this work with both url types, once it's done? Or will everyone have to be informed of the new url? Quite frankly, this scares me a bit. :nervous:

Does this work on:
1) Apache
2) vB 2.3.2 ?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
