Iis – URL Rewrite not available after installing on IIS 10

iisrewrite

I can't seem to find anything about this online.

I've installed URL Rewrite via Web Platform Installer on Windows 10 running IIS 10, restarted IIS Manager, restarted IIS Server and also rebooted my machine but URL Rewrite option is still not available under Site -> IIS category.

I also found a post saying to check if rewrite.dll is available under C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv and it is.

I also tried reinstalling it, but can't seem to find a way to uninstall.

Any ideas as to why this is happening to me?

I found out that URL Rewrite can be uninstalled via Add or Remove Programs. Apparently its named IIS URL Rewrite Module 2 and not Microsoft URL Rewrite Module which a lot of posts suggest.

After uninstalling I installed it again via Web Platform Installer, restarted IIS Manager and now its available under IIS category.

Hope this helps some of you out there.

Wow, it just so happens that Ruslan from the IIS team has been helping me with an almost identical problem over the last two days.

IIS (HTTP.sys) will parse your URL for you - for example, http://site///////dir////file serves you the same content as http://site/dir/file. It will leave the query string alone, but at this point, as we are using pretty URLs, the value is not yet in the query string!

The unencoded URL is stored in a server variable named UNENCODED_URL. You can do something like this to get that value into a capture variable:

<rule name="something" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url=".*" ignoreCase="false" />
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
        <add input="{URL}" negate="true" pattern="^/index\.php" ignoreCase="false" />
        <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^$" ignoreCase="false" />
        <add input="{UNENCODED_URL}" pattern="/(.*)" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" url="/index.php?title={C:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>

You then map to it with a back-reference to the condition.

Nginx redirect rewrite not working, www to non www

Your etc\hosts reads 4 wwww. Change it to 3 www and it will work. It sounds like maybe you need to get some rest. :)
