IIS RewriteBase for an .htaccess - iis

In IIS, RewriteBase is not working. So the below .htaccess rule has been converted as an IIS web config. But in IIS it is giving 400 Bad Request error. What do I need to correct?
Htaccess Rule
RewriteRule api/(.*)$ api.php?request=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
IIS Converted Rule
<rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="api/(.*)$"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="api.php?request={R:1}" appendQueryString="true"/>
</rule>

Assuming your RewriteBase directive is set like this:
RewriteBase /subdir
Then you simply need to append this "prefix" to the start of the target URL (ie. RewriteRule substitution or url attribute value in the IIS directive). Specifically, it should be prefixed only to relative substitution strings.
For example:
RewriteRule api/(.*)$ /subdir/api.php?request=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
In other words:
<action type="Rewrite" url="/subdir/api.php?request={R:1}" appendQueryString="true"/>
If RewriteBase / is set then just prefix with a single slash, eg. url="/api.php?request={R:1}"
That's all that RewriteBase directive does. It sets the URL-prefix for relative path substitutions when used in a directory context.

Translating htaccess file to web_config / IIS

I have been driven around the bend trying to figure this out and I'm at the point I don't know what I am doing wrong and also what I am actually doing.
I have just moved from a Linux shared host running Plesk to a Dedi Windows server with Plesk installed on it. I have moved everything across files wise, DNS etc.
However, when I visited the sites I realised that when I navigated to a page which isn't the index it will give me a 404 error page. After some investigating, I realised that Plesk Linux uses Apache a.k.a .htaccess files compared to Windows Plesk using IIS a.k.a web_config file. I know my issue is that my new server isn't handling the exclusion of file extensions in the url. However, the issue I am having is I tried converting my below .htaccess files using this online converter into a web_config file however I keep getting internal server errors. I then read this solution which says you can import .htaccess code to use in the IIS manager however the IIS manager keeps giving errors or when it says everything is okay my websites still give the 404 error message.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be super helpful!
The two .htaccess files I use and trying to convert are as follows, also if they are messy blame my friend as he made them for me. One which denies looking at the directories, removing html, php file extensions and cache which can be seen below and the second is just a simple deny from all that I put into the directory where I am storing database connection details etc.

asp htaccess 301 redirect

I'm trying to redirect 3 pages but for some reason, it doens't seem to work. Site is built with asp
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Make sure directory listing is disabled
Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
# Re-write for PDFs requests not pre-pended with /pdf/ I.E. in the root - prepend /pdf/ - Use negative look-ahead - If the file doesn't exist you get a 500 though sadly.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(?!pdf/)(.*)\.(pdf)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/pdf/$1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pdf/$1 [L]
# If the URI is not in /images,/pdf,/css, or /js let the handler process it
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/images/|/pdf/|/css/|/js/)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !handler.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ handler.php/$1 [L]
# If the URI IS in the above directories but the file doesn't exist run it through the handler as well
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/images/|/pdf/|/css/|/js/)

</IfModule>
The # Permanent URL redirect portion doesn't seem to work. The above is the entire code I have in the .htaccess file.
Since this site is running on an IIS server, there was a web.config file overruling the .htaccess file somehow. See the to see how i did it. The web.config file was in my site's root folder.
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Env-leader-redirect1" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">

remove www from web address

I'm running php on IIS 8.0.
when I enter the site address with www server returns IIS Error 500. with out www everything is OK.
How can I automatically remove www from adress.
you can use url rewrite module
add this code to web.config and replace domain.tld with your domain name
<rule name="Remove www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://domain.tld{PATH_INFO}" />
</rule>
There are multiple ways to redirect your site to domain only,
1) using DNS server, in DNS you can redirect your visitors to domain only,
2) using IIS config file -> C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.
You don't want to simply redirect because you will have to do that for every page and subdomain. My code will auto strip the www. for you.
.htaccess code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,QSA,NC,L]
If you want to fix you DNS issue just add a 'A' record with www.yourwebsite.com

FollowSymlinks .htaccess Rewrite Rule 404 Error

My real URL is:
www.mysite.com/site/index.php
I need:
www.mysite.com/home.html
I write in the .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)/home.html$ /site/index.php
But go to 404 Error
Any help?
Tk.
UPDATE:
Have any effect that the domain is actually: www.my-site.com ??
UPDATE:
I save in www.my-site.com and change for this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^home\.html$ site/index.php
</IfModule>
But no work.
The pattern part of the RewriteRule directive matches on the path of the request (eg. /my/request/), the host and query string is not included. Also note that in a .htaccess context the leading slash is not included in the pattern.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^home\.html$ site/index.php
in my server, i changed on httpd.conf in Apache
AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All
And Work it!
You said in the comments:
The file .htaccess is save in www.mysite.com/site/
This means, with the current pattern you can access www.mysite.com/site/anything/home.html which will be rewritten to www.mysite.com/site/site/index.php
You should put the .htaccess in the document root and, as already suggested, remove this part from the pattern: (.*)/
This site is hosted by godaddy.com, the server run in Windows over IIS, so, the rule have to be write in a web.config file.
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Imported Rule 1">
<match url="^home\.html$" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="site/index.php" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Unbelievable!!

Converting web.config Url rewrite to .htaccess

I have switched from a Windows Server 2008 R2 running IIS7.5 to CentOS server running Apache2, as I had performance problems with PHP.
My main site's Web.config uses url rewrite and needs to be converted. It has been a while since I last used .htaccess files.
My Web.Config rewrite code:
<rule name="IndexRewrite" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^([^/]+)/?$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?p={R:1}" />
</rule>
So what it does is Rewriting the ?p= That is used by PHP to display the appropriate page.
So, how exactly can this be done? I am not familiar with mod_rewrite in Apache2.
I tried to modify a rewrite rule from another site using SocialEngine, nut no luck.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Get rid of index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /index\.php
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?p= [L,QSA]
# Rewrite all directory-looking urls
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?p= [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
Example of the link:
http://example.com?p=about
Should be
http://example.com/about
That's how it was before when I used IIS7.5 Url rewrite.
Any help?
I have successfully converted it to a working .htaccess mod_rewrite code.
It seems easier than it is. I had to search deeper in Google and found a working toturial.
Here's the code that I use now.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([A-z]+)$ /index.php?p=$1
So this is solved. ;)
