hi everybody,
I have moved my drupal website to a windows host. The home page is loading fine but the internal pages are giving a 404 error. The host says since iis7 does not support htaccess and i need to rewrite the urls in some iis module. Anybody knows how it is done?
I tried downloading it(iis rewrite module) on my windows dedicated server(another server) from the microsoft website but could not get it working. What you think should be done?
 


in order to use rewrite rules under IIS I have used IIRF

I don't remember how hard it can be to make your rules work, could be easy as well as a hell ( it was some time ago, and it was IIS6 ) but that page reads it should work on IIS7
 
I just recently tried to to the same thing. To get it to work for now you can disable the path module. (sucks I know) You can use the tips the previous posters gave to get the rewrite to work.

I also couldn't get the image processing modules to work. (imagecache)

In the end I advised my client to get proper linux hosting which he did.
