Drupal: Clean URLs using IIS
Submitted by chris on January 9, 2006 - 13:45. Drupal Configuration | Drupal Featured | IIS Clean URLs
Update: This technique will work but will require more labor then just
running Apache.
I now run my Drupal under Apache under Windows 2003 Server.
I think I finally got around this problem (for now).
I could not figure out how to exactly translate the rules for Apache:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Here are some of the valid variables, you can overwrite using the
sites\default\settings.php file:
$conf = array(
'site_name' => 'My site',
'theme_default' => 'pushbutton',
'anonymous' => 'Visitor'
);
$conf = array(
'site_name' => 'My site',
'theme_default' => 'pushbutton',

Cron.php on Windows notes...
Submitted by chris on January 11, 2006 - 15:53. Drupal Configuration
As a scheduled job see:
http://drupal.org/node/31506
It appears cron.php needs to be called from a browser type request. Also try to use
your domain name when calling the cron.php script like http://YourDomain.cron.php
(versus http://YourIP/cron.php).
I actually setup a scheduled tasks in ColdFusion to load the page http://MyDomain/cron.php.

The option is located under "Administer Menus-->Settings-->File
system settings".
When we enable that choice under "File system settings" options. Drupal does take control of the image links.
