Grocery crud in windows hosting

Question

I have setup Codeigniter on my server and I installed Grocery crud on it. Unfortunately server is windows based and does not support url rewriting and I am stuck using Grocery crud with it.

Can someone explain the solution to this, as I searched grocery crud forum and found nothing.

Regards

Answer 1

Change config file in CodeIgniter and change $config['querystring'] = false

Now you can access GroceryCrud library functions like this www.example.com/index.php/ControllerClass/FunctionName

Answer 2

Create a file named web.config in your web root and place the following into the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Rewrite to index.php">
                    <match url="index.php|robots.txt|images|test.php" />
                    <action type="None" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Rewrite CI Index">
                    <match url=".*" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="css|js|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|htm|html" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

The above is the example used on the Codeigniter Forums here.

You may also need to ensure that $config['uri_protocol'] is set to AUTO
