Mod_rewrite

Hi,

I have this simple piece of mod_rewrite:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_NAME} !\.php
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z-A-Z]+)/([0-9a-z-A-Z]+)?$ index.php?page=$2&parent=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z-A-Z]+)?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
 
Anyway what I want to know is how can I get this to work on a Windows server? I have used Apache until now but have recently come up with a case that I have to use Windows. Knowing Microsoft I will probably have to buy something.... I have seen many comercial products for rewriting urls but what I really need is something that will work on all Windows servers, just as mod_rewrite works on all Apache servers (that I know of!).

Just to note wordpress seems to manage this and I don't have a clue how - I have never seen a .htaccess file inside a wordpress installation.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
