I'm setting up expression engine on GoDaddy windows economy hosting (the $4.99 option; turns out it support URL Rewrite now), and I am trying to remove index.php and index.php/site from the url. After much trial and error (and many many 500 errors) I have it working for a single url as such: As you can see, the site is in a staging folder, so I'm crossing my fingers that this solution will work by removing ./staging' when I relocate to root, but I would also like to expand it to rewrite index.php? out of the url always (not just for /blog), but every attempt has resulted in 500 errors (many many many...). Expression Engine is installed into the staging folder, blog is just a template I have. So would anyone in the know please help me rewrite this rewrite to work globally? Hi.

Not using rewriting, just trying to get wordpress working. I started a support ticket with them, and they told me (after a week) that it was a problem with my web.config. No other details, of course, since it is "third party software" and they don't support it. However, when I rename my web.config, the 500 disappears entirely and my admin pages work great. Trouble is, I need it, kinda, for the rest of my site, which is .NET. Any idea what wordpress might be looking for in there? Hi all,

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have www.maindomain.com/blog as the location. I dropped web.config, bin folder with files and rules file into the blog folder. also set permissions on blog folder in godaddy interface to read and write and also setup bin folder in iis. Not sure what else to do here. hey guys, i am having the godaddy 500 error as well. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have http://www.maindomain.com/blog as the location.

That fixed this error for me. Unfortunately I'm still stuck with the 500 errors on any of the blog admin pages. The blog itself is fine, the admin stuff either hangs or gets the errors. Try adding:

RewriteBase /blog/

as the second line of your rules where “/blog/” is the path from the root directory to the root of your blog.

Just add the directory and wait a couple of minutes , then just copy the dll and pdb file manually. BUT i get a new error: The virtual path '/index.php/ ..... .bla bla/' maps to another application, which is not allowed so it looks like .net security getting in the way, i've seen other posts with the same problem, any solutions to this ? to have godaddy work, you need to add the bin directory on the IIS Settings from the godaddy admin.
