A design / branding agency developed a SS theme / template for us, which I'm trying to get going on our (IIS) webserver so we can start adding real content.

(The webserver was already running PHP and MySQL).

I unzipped the SS content in a new folder under wwwroot, created the MySQL database and imported the tables from an SQL export file. I created a new web site in IIS, pointing to the new folder, set the default document to index.php, so far so straightforward.

When I navigate to to the new site (say http://10.0.0.1/) the whole thing stuggles mightily, I don't see any SS theme just the raw conntent and logs show me a whole bunch of 301 errors for various SS files (like CSS etc.)

However, if I create a virtual folder on the site and point it to the same location with an alias (e.g. sssite), then navigate to that location (say http://10.0.0.1/sssite/), it all appears to work as intended.

Is there some config somewhere that might be causing the 301s?

Cheers

Looking at this again with my head on straight this morning, I can see that the 301 comes from attempts to locate stuff like:

/index.php/sapphire/thirdparty/jquery/jquery.js

Suggesting, perhaps, that the URL rewriting needs some work. How does one set that up for IIS?

Ok bizzareness - I guess I don't really understand what PHP is doing with the non-.htaccess rewriting.

Looking at the source of the pages that do work vs the same page when it doesn't work, I see it filled with things like:

DOESN'T WORK:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://10.0.0.1/index.php/themes/mytheme/css/form.css?m=1341875218" />

DOES WORK:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://10.0.0.1/sssite/index.php/themes/mytheme/css/form.css?m=1341875218" />

To me, they both seem like incorrectly formed hrefs (with a file name in there?)

Following on from this:

http://www.silverstripe.org/installing-silverstripe/show/14207

I found it WAS a rewrite problem, I was mising the following rules from web.config:

<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="RequestBlockingRule1" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REMOTE_ADDR}" negate="true" pattern="127.0.0.1" />
<add input="{URL}" pattern="*.ss" />
</conditions>
<action type="CustomResponse" statusCode="403" />
</rule>
<rule name="SilverStripe Clean URLs" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="sapphire/main.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
