HOWTO: Codeigniter, IIS and ISAPI_Rewrite

Author: gaweee | Filed under: development, howto

Pretty URLs on IIS is possible. Not so much to make it pretty but to make it convenient when testing your system. Its really simple too!

Step 1 – Install ISAPI_Rewrite from Helicon
Step 2 – Configure your ISAPI_Rewrite httpd.ini
below is my configuration for a codeigniter virtual directory called firingrange

RewriteRule ^/firingrange/(images|css|files|js)(.*)$ /firingrange/webroot/$1$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/firingrange/$ /firingrange/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/firingrange/index.php$ /firingrange/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/firingrange/index.php?(.*)$ /firingrange/index.php?$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/firingrange/(\w+).php$ /firingrange/webroot/($1).php [L]
RewriteRule ^/firingrange/(.+)\?(.*)$ /firingrange/index.php?$1&$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/firingrange/(.*)$ /firingrange/index.php?$1 [L]

Just like the mod_rewrite HOWTO, I threw all my static files into webroot folder so that you can access the site via http://t.wits.g/images/myimage.jpg easily. Same goes for css and js.
