404 Error If Pretty URLs are set to TRUE.

gowdemon

Hello,

I have installed Vanilla on a sub-domain. car.modification.in

The URL structure is like the following by default, which looks ugly.

car.modification.in/index.php?p=/discussion/1/this-is-a-test-discussion#Item_2

So I set

$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;

Now when i try to visit a discussion link, it returns "404 - File or directory not found."

More information:
Application version: 2.0.18.8
PHP: 5.3
Server: IIS 7.5
Controller: PHP

You are getting that error because you must implement the appropriate rewrite rules for IIS (you may need the URL Rewrite extension to do it). Included .htaccess file only works with Apache, as far as I know.
