TYPO3 RealURL does not work with Plesk / IIS

Question

I made a Website, which is based on TYPO3 with XAMPP. Everything is working fine on my localhost.

Then I tried to copy the Website onto my Windows 2008 Server where I have Plesk and IIS running.

Now there is a problem with RealURL. In the browser, I get the symbolic URL like /home instead of /index.php?id=2 , but it throws a 404 Page not found Error

I copied the whole TYPO3 folder into my htdocs folder on the Server and made a MySQL dump file , which i then imported on the server too.

Opening the Website with the TYPO3 standard path works. (eg www.domain.com/ index.php?id=2 )

I really don't know what the issue is, because I also copied the .htaccess onto the Server, which is in the TYPO3 folder.

Is it a settings issue of Plesk or IIS? Does somebody know how to solve this? Would really appreciate if someone could give me some steps getting rid of this error.

Answer 1

You will need mod_rewrite , an apache module. Since you work on ISS, you need to implement this in another way

Example: how can I enable mod_rewrite on iis server
