Problems with URL_Rewrite Mediawiki

Reply Contact

Hi,

I installed a (german) MediaWiki on my Windows 2008 IIS7 Server regarding to this tutorial:
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/299/mediawiki-on-iis/

I have problems now with the Special Pages containing "umlauts" (äöü) .

The browser always goes in an infinite loop and is continously requesting the same page.

Has anybody an idea?

Here is my code in my webconfig:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="MediaWiki">
                    <match url="^(.*)$" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?title={R:1}" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Thx.
Stargate

Hi,

I'm having the same problems, using the latest version of URL_Rewrite (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6c15b777-8d9e-4d99-b359-a98e2c0880f7&displaylang=en) , which should include the nonASCII fix according to the link.But I also tried installing the nonASCII fix (didn't help)

On my wiki url rewriting works fine, except the Letzte_Änderungen and any page using an umlaut. When going to http://paris143.server4you.de/wiki/Spezial:Letzte_Änderungen I'm getting redirected to http://paris143.server4you.de/Wiki/Spezial:Letzte_%C3%83%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3Fnderungen and finally firefox tells me that it has been redirected to often.

When disabling the urlrewrite module in IIS and removing ArticlePath in LocalSettings.php mediawiki makes the link http://paris143.server4you.de/index.php?title=Spezial:Letzte_%C3%84nderungen which works fine. When replacing %C3%84 manually by Ä still everything works.

After enabling URL Rewrite for IIS (still letting arcticlePath unset) the http://paris143.server4you.de/index.php?title=Spezial:Letzte_%C3%84nderungen URL works, but the beautified http://paris143.server4you.de/Spezial:Letzte_Änderungen is redirected to http://paris143.server4you.de/index.php?title=Spezial:Letzte_%C3%83%3Fnderungen which gives me a 404 error.

Is there still a bug in the URL Rewrite Module (which is great by the way), or have I configured something wrongly in my IIS or in PHP.ini?

Any help would be highly appreciated,

Johannes
