Im trying to generate SEO Friendly URL's for opencart in IIS 7. I have successfully installed a website, assigned a domain and connected the opencart installation to a mysql database instance.

Generating SEO Friendly URL's in apache seems so easy however I am paying for a windows server for asp development. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on the issue?

Thanks. (Apologies if this has been answered but I haven't seen it anywhere)

Alternatively, you can install URL Rewrite module for IIS 7 with the link http://www.iis.net/download/urlrewrite. Its Free!!

1.Download (x86 or x64)

2.Double click to install

3.Open IIS Manage and locate the Rewrite Module

4.Import the htaccess code and it convert automatically

UNFORTUNATELY AM NOT ABLE TO UPLOAD IMAGES FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING :(

Tats it! Hope it will solve your problem.

  • So far so good, however I had to comment RewriteBase / to get the import to work. Everything seems to work, however time will tell as this is the first time I am using opencart and working more than a few minutes with PHP. –  Dec 26 '11 at 01:39
  • The SEO urls for products and information links works however the other links still utilise the querystring –  Jan 04 '12 at 01:15
  • By default Opencart supports SEO url only for products,manufacturers, categories and information pages. All other will be query string. But you can change it buy using some extension. – Coolvarun Jan 13 '12 at 07:40
