  Drupal 6 Clean URLs on IIS 7 Reply Contact Hello, I would like to know, if anyone successfully enabled clean URLs on Drupal 6, using IIS7 and IIS7 URL Rewrite module or by using ISAPI IIRF Rewrite module (from codeplex). I’ve found instructions http://locksnlatches.blogspot.com/2007/10/drupal-clean-urls-with-iis7.html on this blog, but I don't know if ISAPI IIRF module is running (is there a way to check it?).  Thank you for all the answers. Best wishes, Marko

You can just import mod_rewrite rewrite rules from Drupal .htaccess file and they should work. The actual Drupal installation on IIS 7.0 had some problems though, until I have applied this workaround. http://ruslany.net

  Re: Drupal 6 Clean URLs on IIS 7 Reply Contact Hello, Thank you for quick answer. Meanwhile I also successfully enabled Clean URLs on Drupal 6. I used IIS7 URL Rewrite module, and I imported rules from IIRF ISAPI Rewrite module (example for Drupal, which is included in the package).  After that, Clean URLs worked fine, but there was no CSS and no images. I noticed that if I enter full URL to CSS file, I get Sever Error, something about rewrite module. I just added another rule on the top of them all, so that if the wildcard *.* matches with entered URL (files), every mod rewrite rule isn't applied, and after that, Clean URLs are still working fine and also CSS and images are applied. Best wishes, Marko

I have seen where other ISAPI modules that add mod-rewrite functionality take a few milliseconds to process each page with clean URLs. That would be a significant impact on a high traffic site.
