Godaddy and UrlRewritting

[CaseyM]

Guys,

Just implemented Url Rewritting using the Intelligencia dll and the Scott Gu tutorial and my system is hosted on Godaddy 2003 windows IIS 7 server. I am getting an Internal Server Error 500 Error when the page loads Anyone getting this? ...and most importantly, apart from changing server, what did you do to fix it ?

Thanks in advance

..btw, Im not using Wordpress, or any other CMS, Im using a system I wrote using the .net framework version 3.5 in c#

You must have fixed the issue or rolled back your URL rewrite. The site is not producing a 500 error now.

One question if you don't mind

Any reason why you've chosen to use extensive table lay-outs and incorporate these into div layers?

You could certainly improve your SEO by minimising the table use.

Sometimes a table useful, but looking at your code (and site design) I can't see any reason why you've used them here...



Cheers

Dave

Yeah I was forced to roll back

Yeah I agree about using a tabless design but i got a free template as I dont have the time to invest in this project for the time being as I am working on another one ( non casino related ). Ive got a years to about 6 months solid developement left on that then I am going to focus on this.

I just spend about 2 months writing a tailored cms for my gf who is an affiliate. I thought that while im working on the other project, she could work on the content. When Im finished on the other project ill focus on the SEO for this one.....

....URL rewritting was just a quick win, ...or so I thought so

, maybe I should just change hosting :/

I am not really sure where you heard that IIS is version 7 on Windows Server 2003.

IIS 6 comes with Server 2003.

Although it may be possible to install IIS7 on 2003, I have never seen this anywhere and would love this to be available so I could run some testing on IIS7 on one of my servers.

From what I have read so far IIS7 requires Server 2008.

There are a few url rewrite options that can be installed on IIS6.

Your popst made me do some digging to make sure there had not been any changes.

Due to some of the hooks into the OS, IIS7 will NOT run on Server 2003.

IIS7 has a rewrite module available, and supports htaccess files which is where I am wanting to do some testing, I just need a few extra hours added to each day and I can pull it off...lol

In order to do url rewriting on an IIS 6 install, you will need an isapi rewite module/filter.

I have tested a few but the one from Helicon seems to be the highest rated with the least problems, although it is not free. It costs $99 and is a per install license so if it is already installed on the server by GoDaddy you should be fine.

I discovered one free one recently, but forget who made it as I plan on testing that to see how it does, if anyone knows let me know) since what I have read is there have been many issues with these in different situations.

You can easy move to a linux hosted server without leaving godaddy, than you can manage an .htaccess file for url rewriting
