CODEIGNITER URL REWRITING ON IIS 7

Below configs helped me fixing issue with pages other than homepage which was giving a 404 error because of url rewrite issue.

Make sure URL Rewrite module is installed on IIS.

Open IIS Manager -> go to your site -> “URL Rewrite” so double-click it.

In the top-right click “Add Rule(s)”

Select “Blank Rule” under “Inbound Rules” and click OK.

Enter “Strip index.php” in the Rule Name text box.

Enter “^(.*)$” into the pattern text box.

Expand Conditions and add a rule each for “Is not a file” and “Is not a directory”
Under Actions, in the Rewrite URL text box enter “index.php/{R:1}” and untick “Append query string”
Click “Apply”

Edit your CI system/application/config/config.php file and set   $config[‘index_page’] = “”;

Good Luck :)

Custom Run Command

Create your own Run Command 
========================

Step 1: Go to “Start,” “Run,”  and type regedit.

Step 2: Navigate to the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Apps Path

Step 3: Create a new folder/key under Apps Path. (Right-Click Apps Path and click “New,” “Key.”)

Step 4: Title the new folder/key the name of the application, e.g. firefox.exe.

Step 5: Right-Click the default string value and click Modify.

Step 6: Change the value to the path of the executable you are attempting to run. E.g. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.

Step 7: Create a new “String Value” by right-clicking under the default value  and select “New,” “String Value.” Name it Path and enter the value as the same path you previously entered.

Step 8: Done! Now, all you need to do is go to “Start,” “Run,” and type the name of your command!

Enable ASP error on IIS7

As a result of security paranoia, ASP's default behavior of sending script errors (including line number and code snippet to the browser has been turned off .  So instead of seeing the typical error you would see ASP throw, you will now see this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To revert back to IIS6- behavior, simply run the following command:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:asp -scriptErrorSentToBrowser:true

Enjoy :)
