Interspire Product Knowledge Base

Pleast note: This is a server related setup, if you have problems with getting your URLs to work, please contact your web host. Point them to this knowledge base entry if necessary .

URL rewriting is a requirement of Website Publisher 5. While on an Apache webserver, we provide the .htaccess file which should work automatically if mod_rewrite is enabled, on an IIS server there is usually more configuration required. There are presently two options for URL rewriting on a Microsoft IIS server.

ISAPI Rewrite 3
To get Website Publisher working with ISAPI Rewrite 3, you'll need to ask your host to use the rewrite rules from the .htaccess file. ISAPI Rewrite can be found on the Helicon Tech website.

IIS 7 Native Rewrite Module
If your web host is running on Microsoft IIS 7, there is now a built-in rewriting module that can be used. For this setup, we've included a web.config file inside the Website Publisher zip file. More information about this new module can be found here.
