Codeigniter on IIS web.config issue

Question

I am installing a site made in PHP/CodeIgniter 2 on a hosting server which unfortunately has IIS running, which I have no experience in.

Nothing is working except the homepage, all other pages are returning 404 errors.

Adding index.php to the url returns 500 - Internal server error (I have the index page config set to '' in the config.php file)

I tried also creating a web.config file thinking the issue might be from the redirects, but adding a web.config file stops even the homepage from working, even if the web.config file added is completely empty.

Help really appreciated.

Whenever I add a web.config file I start getting a 500 Internal Server error even on the homepage. — PoloRM

Then you have probably some errors in your web.config file. Check the error log. — Green Black

I have been copying the web.config from several answers (here on stackoverflow), so I doubt I have an error in it. Also, I can't check the error log, I don't have remote access, I just have access via a control panel. Could it be the PHP version difference? But how come there are no PHP errors displaying then. — PoloRM

I managed to fix the 404 errors (Corrupted files from ftp upload...). However, the web.config file is still not working to remove index.php. I am creating the file in my codeigniter's root folder and I am using the code from stackoverflow.com/questions/9965124/… but still I get 500 internal server error on home page when I do so. Any tips? :S — PoloRM

Check if the hosting server has Re-write module installed in it, that could be your problem.

Make sure you had installed URL Rewrite - http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

After you had installed the module you should able to see this icon (URL Rewrite) in your IIS Management. IIS - URL Rewrite
