I tried IIS mod-rewrite with Dokuwiki and the clean permalinks with .htaccess worked perfect. No need to change anything in the code.

Thanks XYZ

Thanks for the tip on IIS Mod-Rewrite - I’ll check it out and see how it works for us.

Note for others: It is a commercial production though; but I suppose if you’re running an IIS server you’re already in the realm of non-open source software and having to pay for licenses.

IIS Mod-Rewrite ( http://www.micronovae.com/ModRewrite/ModRewrite.html ) is fully compatible with Apache mod_rewrite, and also it’s Pro version supports .htaccess.

I tried it with Wordpress and worked perfectly, as if I used it with Apache. I only had to add the following line at the beginning of “wp-settings.php”:

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL'];

I’m not sure how it works with DokuWiki, but it’s worth trying it.

Thanks for a couple of great articles on dokuwiki - they were a huge help in setting my own site.

FYI, I added a RewriteRule to handle namespace indexes:

RewriteRule ^/(.)?idx=(.) /doku.php?idx=$2 [L]

Also, this plugin provides an even better index:
