how to install SEO in windows?

Hello
I downloaded SEO package for zen cart. But it is not working. I followed all the steps defined in the readme.txt file . this file says to rename htaccess file which works only in Linux environment. I think that is the reason why the package is not working. Is there any solutions to this problem?

This post may be of some interest.

Just to let you know, I didn't manage to get Ultimate SEO URLs working on IIS 6. However, I've not tried the new version of Ultimate SEO URLs yet.

I'll get round to testing the new version soon and report back if it works.

Good luck! :)

I have Ultimate SEO installed and working on a windows server. You need to confirm with your host that they support URL_REWRITE on windows.

In place of using .httaccess you use a file called httpd.ini to redirect your url requests.

Hi Louis,

I host my own website and when first trying to setup URL_REWRITE I ran into a few problems. I beleive this was due to my OS being x64. However, I cannot confirm this.

I'm going to try and set this up again and will be crossing my fingers this time! :)

You may ask your host if they have ISAPI_Rewrite: helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/ installed.

where do I get the "httpd.ini to redirect your url requests." file?

Place the following in a file called httpd.ini and upload the file to the root of your store.

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

#UriMatchPrefix /demo/
#UriFormatPrefix /demo/
 
#RewriteRule /(?!editors)(.*) /$1 [L] 

# From Ultimate SEO URLs
RewriteRule .*-p-(.*)\.html(?:\?(.*))? /index.php\?main_page=product_info&products_id=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
RewriteRule .*-c-(.*)\.html(?:\?(.*))? /index.php\?main_page=index&cPath=$1?2&$2: [I,L]

# All other pages
# Don't rewrite real files or directories

#There is no way to convert these conditions in the current ISAPI_Rewrite version:

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*).html /index.php?main_page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]


#Only rule could be converted to:
RewriteRule (.*)\.html(?:\?(.*))? /index.php\?main_page=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
