If you have GoDaddy IIS7 windows hosting and you need to get some mod_rewrite action happening, you need a file called web.config uploaded to the root directory (where all your website files are stored)
Here is the .htaccess mod_rewrite rules I was trying to get working on IIS7
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/webitor/api.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /webitor/webitor_api.php [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php [L,QSA]
Here’s the web.config version of these htaccess rules which worked on GoDaddy:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><configuration><system.web><identity impersonate="false" /></system.web><system.webServer><rewrite><rules><rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true"><match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" /><conditions><add input="{URL}" pattern="^/webitor/api.*$" ignoreCase="false" /></conditions><action type="Rewrite" url="webitor/webitor_api.php" appendQueryString="true" /></rule><rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true"><match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" /><conditions><add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /><add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /><add input="{URL}" pattern="^/webitor/api.*$" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /></conditions><action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" appendQueryString="true" /></rule></rules></rewrite><directoryBrowse enabled="false" /></system.webServer></configuration>
