.htaccess on ISS Webserver

I made a TYPO3 Webpage and use the RealURL which is saved in the .htaccess.
Now I want to make this Homepage working on a IIS Webserver and have the problem that the .htaccess does not work properly, because IIS uses the web.config file.
Can anybody tell me what i have to do, so that I can use all the code of the .htaccess file?
Greetings

Why PhpStorm doesn't using htaccess file?

I have an .htaccess file for page redirecting. It works fine in wampserver, but in phpstorm, it doesn't work and phpstorm doesn't use .htaccess.
For example, this works in wampserver:
localhost/Example/Page
This doesn't work in phpstorm:
localhost:63342/Example/Page
// 404 Not Found
Any thoughts on this problem?
.htaccess is used by the Apache webserver. It's not used by the PHPStorm web-browser though. If you want to be able to use it there, you would want to setup the 'Web path for project root' and point it to the appropriate location, as set in an Apache vhost.

How to redirect url using sef rewriting and .htaccess on Joomla 2.5?

I've already read everything i could find on this subject but I still can't redirect my new urls to the old ones !
I'm using Joomla 2.5.6, with Apache and the SEF works fine but the SEF-rewrite doesn't. The URL is actually well rewritten but it doesn't redirect me to the old URL.
I already did this manipulation on a Joomla 1.5 site and it worked fine by changing htaccess.txt to .htaccess and by editing configuration.php but it looks like something has changed on Joomla 2.5
Basically I want my new URL: mysite.com/page.html to redirect to the old one: mysite.com/index.php/page.html
I really need you help ! Thanks !
My problem is solved and it was actually something wrong with apache. I had to rename my joomla file (located at /etc/apache2/sites-available) with my domain name. I also uploaded a router.php file (at /components/com_virtuemart) I found on a forum, and now my SEF rewriting works perfectly !

htaccess RewriteEngine working for HTTP but not HTTPS

I am trying to redirect URLs such as www.mysite.com/foo/bar to www.mysite.com/foo/index.php?foo=bar.
To do this I am using a couple of lines in the .htaccess file, they are as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^foo/([a-z]+)/?$ foo/index.php?bar=$1 [NC,L]
This works great for connections made over HTTP but I really need this to work over HTTPS as well. When I go to https://www.mysite.com/foo/bar I just get presented with the 404 Not Found error page.
Any help to get this working over HTTPS (or an explanation as to why it cannot be done over HTTPS) would be great. Thanks.
EDIT:
After reading a few comments here is a bit of an update.
I do have an SSL certificate for the site and HTTPS is working fine elsewhere on the site
The document root is the same for both the HTTPS and the HTTP versions of the site. I checked this out using echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; - both return the same thing.
I did notice that (when I removed my customised 404 page) that the error shown is: The requested URL document_root/public_html/foo/index.php was not found on this server. I do not have any idea why this might be the case when, if I access the file directly, I can use it fine.
Hopefully this extra info might help a bit.
After some more searching for solutions and looking at examples of .htaccess files I found the solution. I needed to add the following line to my .htaccess file:
RewriteBase /
I am still unsure as to why, without this line, it worked using HTTP but not HTTPS but everything is working well with the addition of this line.
I am no expert in this area but I found a nice explanation of what RewriteBase does here (Line 4): http://randomtype.ca/blog/the-wordpress-htaccess-file-explained/

.htaccess redirect to subdirectory on Verio windows server

I've been trying to get a website up an running on my work's servers using Verio windows server 2003 gold and they've been quite useless when it comes to helping me out.
All I'm trying to do is set up a Wordpress installation, which they apparently require to be in a subdirectory. This is done and I have it in domain.com/wp ready to go. At this point they recommend that I use an .htaccess file to redirect to that url, so as they just sent me basically an "About .htaccess" link, that was of no help.
Did some searching, found a couple options like this one:
http://www.site5.com/blog/apache/htaccess/redirect-to-blog/20090427/
and nothing I use seems to work, not even as a straight redirect. Just gives me a "Directory Listing Denied - This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed."
I do want to mention I did enable URL Rewrite for IIS via ISAPI_Rewrite 3 in the control panel.
As I mentioned Verio support is useless and I can't seem to find anything searching that seems to help my situation.
So pretty much what I need is domain.com/wp to rewrite as domain.com so all links centered around it do the same (ie domain.com/about domain.com/contact)
Any help? Thanks
If I understand you correct you need your Wordpress application to be available from the root of your web site instead of /wp/ folder? Then please try following .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(?!wp/)(.*) /wp/$1 [NC]
By the way I think you could try simply copying /wp/ folder content to the root folder.
