Lots of posts on this but most seem to fix .htaccess issues so I felt obligated to add another

I'm bound to an IIS server with my client and have had the folks at Rack.io (the hosting provider) install the URL Rewrite module for IIS. The installation checks report that everything is good but during the installation progress I get the following:

Friendly URLs are not working. This is most likely because a rewrite module isn't configured correctly on your site. You may need to get your web host or server administrator to do this for you:
- mod_rewrite or other rewrite module is enabled on your web server
- AllowOverride All is set for the directory where SilverStripe is installed

Does "AllowOverride All" apply to IIS installs?

Can anyone suggest next steps for me to troubleshoot?

Thanks!
Peter

Are there the rules into web.config?

Hi biapar,

Yes, the following is written to web.config during the install:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<security>
			<requestFiltering>
				<hiddenSegments applyToWebDAV="false">
					<add segment="silverstripe-cache" />
				</hiddenSegments>
			</requestFiltering>
		</security>
		<rewrite>
			<rules>
				<rule name="SilverStripe Clean URLs" stopProcessing="true">
					<match url="^(.*)$" />
					<conditions>
						<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
					</conditions>
					<action type="Rewrite" url="sapphire/main.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
				</rule>
			</rules>
		</rewrite>
	</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Is there a way to override the friendly URL check to see if it does indeed work but is reporting errors by mistake?

Thanks,
Peter

Is module enabled? Have you see if in IIS control panel there is url rewriting configuration?

I run a lot of SS installation on IIS7.5 and I don't have problems.

Hi biapar,

The module is enabled and appears in the IIS control panel.

Do you know if I can override the check and see if it will work?

Peter

Try this:

<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<hiddenSegments applyToWebDAV="false">
<add segment="silverstripe-cache" />
</hiddenSegments>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="SilverStripe Clean URLs" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="sapphire/main.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
