An out there IIS Redirect SEO Question

164 New Member
I was not sure whether or not to post this here, or in the Misc. forum.

Here is my situation:

We have a website that needs to running on IIS. We are running server 2003, and IIS 6, of course. We need to put up a wordpress blog on the site as well. So I just created a directory where the website is stored on the machine, got php installed as ISAPI, at first, then throough all the problems, tried it as CGI, and Fast CGI. And still had the same problems.

And the problems were:

URL redirects woudlnt work smoothly. (this was a problem I was willing to let go, and look into further if the next problem would be resolved)

The wordpress theme we are using has function that utilizes the GD php extension, and it doesnt work at all! The GD extensions does work, as I have tested it multiple ways. I have a feeling it has something to do with the path to where the images are stored for the site, but after tinkering with it for days, I feel the best thing would be to just run the wordpress section on Apache like it should be.

Which brings me to the main point of this post...

I want to wordpress section to appear as it is located at
www.website.com/blog

If I setup the apache server, I know I can make the site be blog.website.co m

Or I could put a redirect on the /blog directory in windows, and point it to blog.website.co m

But is there anyway to pull this off with having two different web servers, and make it appear as if it is coming from website.com/blog
???


Thanks so much in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply. This indeed takes care of the rewrites problem, but more importantly, I am trying to either solve the problem with GD extension not working, or even more how to get my site to appear like website.com/blog in the search engines if I am using two different web servers.

Have you tried adding it as a new web extension:
Configure Web Service Extensions (IIS 6.0)

Yes, I did all of that. PHP is working fine on IIS except for this one thing. I think I am just at a loss here for what I wanted to do. I dont even think it is possible, but I just wanted to double check that before I moved on to try the next ideas.

Thanks a ton everyone.

A question that has certainly been asked before and I've googled etc. for answers with no certain outcome... I'd like my PHP script to redirect the client browser to another page, POSTing some data at the same time. (To take them back to an html page showing a form that needs correcting because some data is missing.) I believe this is either tricky or not possible from what I've seen, but I'd just like to see what others think...

I need to redirect to a page and HTTP Post data. The Response.Redirect does not work and the HTTPREQUEST option calls the page and waits for a response, but I need to transfer control to the page. Eg. Redirect and POST data. The only way I can see to do this is to format a HTML/POST, with Javascript, page and use the RESPONSE.WRITE option. Thanks

When a server encounters the line Response.Redirect("abcd.asp") in a ASP script, the server tells the browser that it has to be redirected to another page (which is abcd.asp, in this case). The browser then makes a new request to the server to redirect itself to abcd.asp after which the user gets redirected to abcd.asp. But in case of Server.Execute (or Server.Transfer), when the server
