DokuWiki, IIS, and mod_rewrite

I finally got DokuWiki working on an IIS installation with friendly URL’s. Apache’s mod_rewrite doesn’t exist for IIS, but a similar module called URL Rewrite for IIS works nearly as well.

It took a fair amount of trial and error (and the useful regex tester from the makers of ISAPI rewrite). Here are the steps I used to get it working.

1. Download & install mod_rewrite for IIS following their instructions.
2. Use the mod_rewrite.ini sample below, and configure it for your own particular server. Note that this module does not use .htaccess files like mod_rewrite does. It only accepts regex commands in the mod_rewrite.ini file instead.
3. Set userewrite and useslash to 1 in DokuWiki’s /conf/local.php file.

Hope this helps some people out!
