Windows Server 2008 + IIS 7 + Url Rewrite

**Rostor** · 07-10-2009 09:43 AM

Yes, there are 373 gz files inside, first 6 are 57 kb the next are 2 kb, is there a timeout value in the script ?

**Mert Gökçeimam** · 07-10-2009 09:49 AM

It looks like you are including showpost pages into your sitemap files. Make sure the following two options are set to no :

Include Showpost Pages
Include Old urls

When you are done making these changes please manually delete all xml.gz files inside vbseo_sitemap/data folder and regenerate sitemaps

**Rostor** · 07-10-2009 10:18 AM

Turned off the two options, deleted the files, but again 500 error during the execution of the script.

**Mert Gökçeimam** · 07-10-2009 10:24 AM

Is the permissions of vbseo_sitemap/data folder set to chmod 777 ?

**Rostor** · 07-10-2009 10:30 AM

Yes 777 .

Also no errors in IIS event log and phperror.txt

**AWS** · 07-11-2009 09:23 AM

When you get a 500 error you should get a more descriptive error. Can you post the error?

This is more than likely a permissions problem. Add write and modify permissions for NETWORK_SERVICE. If NETWORK_SERVICE is not listed in the permission settings then add it and give read, write and modify permissions.

Hmmm... strange things happen

During the week end, I receive the mail notification that sitemaps was created.

I did the change as suggested by AWS, but right now if I launch sitemap generator it works !

Now I just need to change the rewrite rules for IIS 7.

I will let you know.

**Rostor** · 07-14-2009 06:34 AM

I write too fast.

Problem again with 500 error when trying to create sitemap.

I put NETWORK_SERVICE with write and read permission but I don't know where looking for the log of the problem.

The forum works on 3 servers in NLB with DFSR for the replica of the content of the WWW folder.

**Rostor** · 07-17-2009 04:51 AM

I'm going crazy

sometimes it works sometimes not.

In any case here attached the web.config file that is the rewrite rules for Microsoft Url Rewriting on IIS 7.

Hope it should be usefull for all the IIS 7 users.

Thanks Rostor ,

Do you mind if we include these to vBSEO package and will you mind writing a quick article how to define the config rules to IIS 7 ?

**Rostor** · 07-17-2009 05:37 AM

Hi Mert,
yes you can include it in vbseo, I post it for you.

About a quick article, if you want I can write it just let me know.

It's really easy to make it work, after you install IIS7 you have to install the Url Rewrite x86 or x64 (1.1 version suggested) URL Rewrite Module 1.1 for IIS 7 : Ruslan's Blog : The Official Microsoft IIS Site then copy the file web.config in the main folder of the forum.
IIS 7 automatically detect the configuration file and use it.
After installing the url rewrite you can install vBseo.

Could you please check my board to be sure that all the rules are working fine ?

**Mert Gökçeimam** · 07-17-2009 05:49 AM

Thanks ,

I just checked and your vBSEO installation is working as expected . Please feel free to create a critique thread within vBulletin SEO Discussion - Critique Please at vBSEO.com so staff and other members can share some additional optimizations tips.

**Rostor** · 07-17-2009 06:13 AM

Thanks for the suggest, critique thread opened

Where do you want that I post information on how to install vBSEO on MS url rewrite, in the Url Rewrite section of the forum ?

Ciao,
Renato
