Installation
---------------------------------
Installation is simple, but manual. You need to install the
ISAPI Filter, as with any ISAPI. Do it through the IIS MMC
panel. Add the filter to the all web sites, or to a
particular website.
Follow these steps
1. Copy the filter DLL to an appropriate folder, such as
c:\windows\system32\inetsrv . Or it could be in c:\wwwroot
somewhere. Or it could be in a totally separate directory tree,
with permissions granted to the appropriate Windows principal
(IUSR_hostname). It's up to you. The only thing - don't put
it in the web document tree. (it causes problems with detecting
changes in the ini file. there's more about this later in the
readme).
2. Open the Internet Service Manager (MMC).
You can do this via Start...Run...%SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\iis.ms c
or you can browse on WinXP to Start...Control
Panel...Administrative Tools....Internet Information Services.
3. Select the appropriate level for the ISAPI filter:
- to use the ISAPI filter with all Web sites, select the "Web Sites"
icon just under the machine name.
- to use the ISAPI filter with a specific Web site, select the icon
for that Web site (for example, the default Web site).
4. Right-click the level (icon) that you selected. Click the
Properties button.
5. Click the ISAPI Filters tab.
6. Click Add.
7. Type a name for the ISAPI filter. Eg, "Ionic Rewriter".
8. Click Browse and select the ISAPI filter DLL that you copied in
step 1.
9. Click OK.
10. Stop the IISADMIN service. To do this, either type net stop
iisadmin /y at a command prompt, or use the Services applet that
is located in Administrative Tools
11. Start the World Wide Web Publishing Service. Do this by typing
net start w3svc at a command prompt, or by using the Services
applet that is located in Administrative Tools.
