Vb 3.5.0 and RC8 - Cant get it working

Hello Forum,

I got a few problems and questions I dont know the answer to. I got a forum of nearly 10,000 users and it is broken.

I am going to try and get it going in the next 5 hours, and if I cant do it, I will have to revert back to the old way for a few months.

I just need to understand a few things, and hopfully I will get it figured out.

I have Hericon ISAPI rewrite full version. I dont have multiversions of the ISAPI.ini file, I just use one in the Helicon folder.

Am I supposed to merge the contents of the isapi_rewrite.txt and the .htaccess into one and just add it to the isapi.ini file ?

Do I have to do anything else except what it told me to do in the installation instructions.

I have got the URL changing, but they all 404 as something is wroge with the ISAPI rewrite.

All I want to do is getting working so I dont have revert back, and I will worry about the fine tuning some other time

It is windows IIS6

Any ideas why i get 404 errors ?

Can anybody see any problems with this as absolutly nothing is working. My Url is www.forums.greecemonkey.eu

It did not work for me, the urls were rewritten, but the ISAPI file must be wrong, as it done not act upon any of the written URLs.

I did as far as I know follow the instructions to the letter.

Does anybody know why this does not work - I mean I know it works, but it dit not work for me. I cant afford another 4 hour outage on the server unless I am sure it is going to work next time.

I got the file permissions bang on, I installed everything correctly.

is Version RC 8 to new to work with IIS ??

If anybody can see what I did wrong, then I will try again, otherwise I am not going to risk it

Sorry it was me being stupid :-))

RewriteRule ^/(.+?)(?:\?(.*))?$ /forums/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1(?2&$2) [L]

The red folder did not exist, as the vbseo.php file is in the root of of the web

Hello,

sorry for delay, I'm glad you got it working.
