# You should be able to use this as a .htaccess file
# with ISAPI Rewrite 3.0
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]

the pages seem to all be rewriting to the home page. http://www.imailroom.ca

I have a page http://www.imailroom.ca/test and it stays like this in the url but shows the home page instead

http://www.helicontech.com/cms_articles/wordpress.htm

When I write something specific, like:
RewriteRule ^about/vision/ /index.php/about/vision [L]
It works specifically for this page.

But when I try something dynamic, like:
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/ /index.php/$1/$2/ [L]
It doesn’t work at all, just results in a 404.

What is interesting, though, is if I take out the 2nd part, the custom wordpress 404 page doesn’t come up – just the default browser 404. When I leave it, it does.

Any thoughts?

Or

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]

None of these work. Your plugin is activated. Any ideas whats wrong with my RewriteRule?

I am curious if this plugin will or will not do what I am looking for.

Basically, I want to be able to secure my WordPress website (running on a Windows 2008 server, with IIS7) in the same way that I would, if it was on a Linux server (by adding changes to the .htaccess file on a Linux server).

Example:

1. Copy and paste the following code into your .htaccess file to deny access to your wp-config.php file.

# protect wpconfig.php

order allow,deny
deny from all

# to protect the .htaccess file itself:

order deny,allow
deny from all

2. And things like .. how to protect WordPress from content scrappers

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} !^http://(.+\.)?testsite\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} !%$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpg [L]

3. And how to prevent script injections like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\|%3E) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]

So ..

I want to know if and how your plugin would allow me to simply update and add the above type of code to the .htaccess file (and have it work on my Windows 2008 Server with IIS7) in the same way it would work on a Linux server.

If your plugin will not do this, can you provide any suggestions?

Thanks,
Gary

I just wondered if you have tried this using Helicon Ape instead of/as well as ISAPIRewrite installed on the server?

TIA
