Rewrite Configuration Guide

URL rewriting is a common function of HTTP servers. However, the rules and configuration differ widely between them. Below are some common approaches across a variety of popular web servers available at the time of writing.

Apache HTTP Server

All examples that follow use mod_rewrite, an official module that comes bundled with Apache. To use it, mod_rewrite must either be included at compile time or enabled as a Dynamic Shared Object (DSO). Please consult the » Apache documentation for your version for more information.

Rewriting inside a VirtualHost

Here is a very basic virtual host definition. These rules direct all requests to index.php, except when a matching file is found under the document_root.

<VirtualHost my.domain.com:80>
    ServerName   my.domain.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/server/root/my.domain.com/public
 
    RewriteEngine off
 
    <Location />
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
        RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
        RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [NC,L]
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Note the slash ("/") prefixing index.php; the rules for .htaccess differ in this regard.

Rewriting within a .htaccess file

Below is a sample .htaccess file that utilizes mod_rewrite. It is similar to the virtual host configuration, except that it specifies only the rewrite rules, and the leading slash is omitted from index.php.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

There are many ways to configure mod_rewrite; if you would like more information, see Jayson Minard's » Blueprint for PHP Applications: Bootstrapping.

Microsoft Internet Information Server

As of version 7.0, IIS now ships with a standard rewrite engine. You may use the following configuration to create the appropriate rewrite rules.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^.*$" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}"
                             matchType="IsFile" pattern=""
                             ignoreCase="false" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}"
                             matchType="IsDirectory"
                             pattern=""
                             ignoreCase="false" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="None" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^.*$" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

It don't seems to be enough to make site work in IIS7.
I had to add a new rule to treat de files (js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf) here it is:

<rule name="CSS Rule " stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf)$" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}"
matchType="IsFile" pattern="\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf)$"
ignoreCase="false" />
</conditions>
<action type="None" />
</rule>

For me this resolved the problem of supporting files of my application.
I hope you enjoy.

My IIS 7 have no URL Rewrite native module. And now what!!

Now You have two options:
Download Helicon URL Rewrite Software (http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/)
or
Download the x86 version of the URL Rewrite native module (http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9722533)

I tried both and, for me microsoft works better and rules are easy to understand.
I hope this can help someone like me to save my lost 3 days searching for a solution!!!
