Hi,

EE version2.4.0

We have New EE site on windows IIS server and index.php is removed from url with ini file.

One requirement we have is to also access old html pages on root and no redirecting. So if url given http://www.example.com/test.html goes to Home page which is default 404 setup.
How to access test.html on root?

Thanks.

Hello fatrabbit,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

Have you tested this? I am able to view test.html on my server even with index.php removal and error page enabled.

Another idea is to make test.html a template with an index to the old files.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Hi Shane,

Is anything to add/update in ini file. As we have to have those pages as html on root.
Here is the folder structure on root
/system
/themes
/images
/style
index.php
file.ini
test.html

and in .ini file

#Rules for folders to accept without rewriting:
RewriteRule ^/images/(.*)$ /images/$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule ^/style/(.*)$ /style/$1 [I,L]

#This removes index.php? from the urls
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [I,L]

Thanks.

Hey fatrabbit,

I am not sure if the settings in php.ini are messing with things to be honest.

Can you remove them to see?

Are you also using .htaccess?

Are you using strict urls?

Please let me know.

Cheers,

Hi Shane,
Our site is on Windows IIS 6 server. EE 2.4.0
No .htaccess
ISAPI Rewrite tool, Refrence taken form this thread to write .ini file
No strict URL.
If we remove ini file we can access html file on root.
We need solution for these by keeping ini file to remove index.php from url and also able to access old HTML file on root.
Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks.

Hello fatrabbit,

Unfortunately finding a solution that includes a custom php.ini file is a bit outside of support.

Because moving that file aside resolves the issue and allows ExpressionEngine to work as expected, that is where you will want to focus your efforts. Is there a reason you are using the php.ini file instead of .htaccess? I am not at all familiar with IIS.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Cheers,
