(ot) Ionic's Isapi Rewrite Filter and Site CrashI had the same problem at one point and I think it turned out to be a bad regex. A few questions: 1. is the ini file of the same filename as the dll and are they in the same directory? 2. are you making sure that the rewriterule is both case insensitive and is set to be the last rule checked? 3. have you put an index.cfm into the "www.mysite.com/attorney/bob_smith" directory and looked at the page results in debug mode (or dumped out the cgi vars)? As it stands now, the regex will fail if "www.mysite.com/attorney/bob_smith/" is the page requested. It will also fail for any subdirectories of bob_smith or any file in the bob_smith directory. If your goal is to always get the subdirectory directly under attorney then use this: RewriteRule ^/attorney/([^/]+) /lawyers/get-bio.cfm?attorney=$1 [I,L] This will avoid any problems with a trailing slash or file name in the request. As a side note, bob-smith is more valuable seo wise. Google looks at a dash as a space. An underscore is a literal underscore character, not a space. > If anybody is familiar with Ionic's Isapi Rewrite Filter... > > I have asked folks over on the Ionic's forum about this, but there's not > much traffic there and I *bet* somebody here can answer before I get > replies.
