astpierre Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 When I look at your system requirements, I see that Microsoft IIS is in there. Also when I read the forums, the remarks I get is "Don't use IIS". This makes me a bit confused lol Now my hosting provider is with IIS on ASP.net servers. I cannot change it, What I do know is that IIS use web.config file and that Apache use htacess. Now I installed on my personal server Wamp and presta works just fine. My questions are: On my hosting server I will need to rewrite htaccess files so which one since there is more than 1? Any other pointer to help me get this going will be greatly appreciated. At this point I am uploading presta shop files on the hosting server. I will keep you posted on what is happening. Thank you all. Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dalton Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I use IIS. Windows Server 2012 R2. In the PS 1.4x versions you could import htaccess into IIS rewrite no problem. Not so with PS 1.5x. You can import most, but it takes a bit of manual work as well. It was a pain. The solution for me is to use the htaccess file. You do that by installing the proper IIS module, http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astpierre Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi PrestaShop Addict Yeah I saw that, but can I install it or does it have to be done by my hosting provider? If I can install it myself then I will gladly pay for it, if this has to be done by my provider than I am not sure. I will look into it further and keep you posted. thank you Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Dalton Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 PrestaShop Newbie, if your sever is dedicated yes you can install it yourself. If you are on a shared server than you will need to have your host install it for you. Once it is installed, htaccess just works. No configuration required. This helps as well with other things you may wish to install, WordPress for example. Regardless, here is an example web.config file that should work for PS 1.5x. This is for PS with Friendly URLs turned on. web.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to add everything related to MySQL and php on my testing server but yahoo. Thank you Bill for your help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
