Hi Ruben

Does that mean you don't know what permissions you need to get it to work, or that despite applying the permissions, nothing changed? If the former, could you let us know what permissions need to be applied, and to what?

It is hard to tell from my perspective.
When I was on a windows host I had limited access to the server settings.
My previous host did not even know what path_info was.
They were willing to change settings on my direction from research I did. But as I recall there was a roadblock that the version I was on did not recommend the changes needed from microsoft.
And cgi_fix was one of the values to address.
There was another value I found in pathinfo that looked promising ,can't recall what it was but it did not work either.

So I gave up on a futile attempt to get it working. And switched to a linux server.

There are some people here that use iss and have friendly urls working. But I don't think most of them know why it does work it just does.

So like I said Rick can peek under the hood if he has access and may find another value to use.

Bottom line is for a test looking here just add /pak to the url
You will see you do not get a 404 error.
Try it at your test site and you do.

HERE is one post on the subject that may help.
It is a old post but...

how do we tell if it is working or not?

well it works on clubadventist,com
Because a url that works is:
http://clubadventist.com/forum/ubbthread...tml#Post367895.

otherwise the url would be something like:
http://clubadventist.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=367895#Post367895

thanks!

I agree with you.I just suggested this fix since it works on some windows servers.
