Cannot redirect URL to proper function when using IIS 6

[ethereal1m]

Dear all,

I’m trying to redirecting using an URL that uses get method so that it fills up $_GET variable and redirects it to some class and function of a controller. When using IIS6, it doesn't redirect to a specified controller, it redirects to its home instead. Works in Apache though.

 

Suppose the link is:

localhost/content/?id=5 

which making the link to execute get method and set variable “id” with value equal to 5 and put them into $_GET variable.

 

I'm using Codeigniter framework, therefore for URL routing it uses routes.php file. It has the following line

$route['content/:(any)']='some_class/some_function/$1'; 

which routing the link into execution of some_function of some_class with input of 5, so that it should reroute into:

some_class/some_function/?id=5 

 

but it doesn’t, it routes to default home address instead.

 

Seems that IIS cannot parse

some_class/some_function/?id=5  

 

Do I miss something?

 

I’m using php5.1.4, IIS6 and MSSQL server 2003. IIS6 is using CGI to execute PHP.

 

regards,

From memory IIS6 does not support url rewriting. You need at least IIS7.

I need to install rewrite module on IIS6 then... thanks for the pointer!
