So being a LAMP server guy, recently at my work I've had to use Microsoft's' Azure Cloud to host some micro-apps of ours and I got to playing around with the platform. It's pretty nifty! Naturally, I tried to install ProcessWire to play around with Web Apps + SQL App Service to see what I can get away with on the Free Tier (rather then spinning up a full LAMP VM machine which is the way Bitnami installs ProcessWire, costing $60CAD/mo). Turns out installing ProcessWire is pretty smooth sailing except for one part: .htaccess mod_rewrite rules when you're not using Apache, as this is Azure Cloud so it's running PHP7 on IIS Microsoft Server and requires rewrite rules to be in a web.config file instead. Doing some digging, I found tools that convert .htaccess over to web.config and was curious if anyone with experience using Microsoft .NET could see if the rules from the .htaccess actually do translate in the same way when written in XML for web.config? Default ProcessWire v3.0 .htaccess file (comments, commented out commands removed): Options -Indexes Options +FollowSymLinks ErrorDocument 404 /index.php <Files favicon.ico> ErrorDocument 404 "The requested file favicon.ico was not found. </Files> <Files robots.txt> ErrorDocument 404 "The requested file robots.txt was not found. </Files> <IfModule mod_headers.c> Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN Header set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" </IfModule> <FilesMatch "\.(inc|info|info\.json|module|sh|sql)$|^\..*$|composer\.(json|lock)$"> <IfModule mod_authz_core.c> Require all denied </IfModule> <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c> Order allow,deny </IfModule> </FilesMatch> <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off php_flag magic_quotes_sybase off php_flag register_globals off </IfModule> DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 <IfModule mod_env.c> SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On </IfModule> RewriteRule "(^|/)\.(?!well-known)" - [F] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(^|/)site-[^/]+/install/[^/]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)\.htaccess$ [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets/(cache|logs|backups|sessions|config|install|tmp)($|/.*$) [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/install($|/.*$) [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets.*/-.+/.* [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(wire|site|site-[^/]+)/(config|index\.config|config-dev)\.php$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(wire|site|site-[^/]+)/templates-admin($|/|/.*\.(php|html?|tpl|inc))$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/templates($|/|/.*\.(php|html?|tpl|inc))$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets($|/|/.*\.php)$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)wire/(core|modules)/.*\.(php|inc|tpl|module|info\.json)$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/modules/.*\.(php|inc|tpl|module|info\.json)$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(COPYRIGHT|INSTALL|README|htaccess)\.(txt|md|textile)$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)site-default/ RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "^/~?[-_.a-zA-Z0-9/]*$" [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(favicon\.ico|robots\.txt) [OR] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?it=$1 [L,QSA] </IfModule> Converted web.config file: <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="www_mysite_com:non-80"> <match url="&quot;(^|/)\.(?!well-known)&quot;" ignoreCase="false" /> <action type="CustomResponse" statusCode="403" statusReason="Forbidden" statusDescription="Forbidden" /> </rule> <rule name="www_mysite_com:80" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^.*$" ignoreCase="false" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny"> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)site-[^/]+/install/[^/]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)\.htaccess$" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets/(cache|logs|backups|sessions|config|install|tmp)($|/.*$)" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/install($|/.*$)" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets.*/-.+/.*" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(wire|site|site-[^/]+)/(config|index\.config|config-dev)\.php$" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(wire|site|site-[^/]+)/templates-admin($|/|/.*\.(php|html?|tpl|inc))$" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/templates($|/|/.*\.(php|html?|tpl|inc))$" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets($|/|/.*\.php)$" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)wire/(core|modules)/.*\.(php|inc|tpl|module|info\.json)$" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/modules/.*\.(php|inc|tpl|module|info\.json)$" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)(COPYRIGHT|INSTALL|README|htaccess)\.(txt|md|textile)$" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{URL}" pattern="(^|/)site-default/" ignoreCase="false" /> </conditions> <action type="CustomResponse" statusCode="403" statusReason="Forbidden" statusDescription="Forbidden" /> </rule> <rule name="www_mysite_com:80" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny"> <add input="{URL}" pattern="&quot;^/~?[-_.a-zA-Z0-9/]*$&quot;" ignoreCase="false" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="(favicon\.ico|robots\.txt)" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?it={R:1}" appendQueryString="true" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite>

Hi Everyone I have a problem here. I have built a site with Processwire on localhost and then transferred to my customer's server. a) it's a windows server (unfortunately) and b) there is a domain-mapping for this site, the domain points to a folder of another domain. Sorry, I can't explain it any better, I don't really understand the different types of servers (why do they have to be different anyway...). My problem is, that I see the main website but not the admin page. Do I have to add anything to my .htaccess file? I also tried to include web.config file. Not .htaccess nor web.config file have an impact when changing its content. I really have no clue what to do!!
