Install prestashop ON IIS winodws server


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I need to installa prestashop on Windows server IIS with microsoft url rewite module installed on. The installation was finished in the correct way. I hadn't actived the url friendly, but when I tried to surfing the website I had this error " many redirection". The back office, instead, is surfing without problem.

 

I tied to installa a new website with another name, db, etc , but the result it's the same.

Can you help me to solved the issue, I'm going out of mind.

thanks in advance.

URL rewrite will not work unless you rewrite the .htaccess to a web.config. After 1 year with constant problems on permissions on Windows Server IIS I changed back to linux. I suggest you do the same.

 

Windows server does not support mod_rewrite (thereofe your friendly URLS are not working - .htaccess are ignored by windows), furthermore permissions are the major problem of windows. Permissions are set on the first instance of the server. Prestashop needs reading and writing permissions on folders and files, which you cannot set on a windows server. So fine-tuned, which is not possible on windows servers. Yo will constantly have problems (installing new modules, deinstalling, changing configuration, etc).

 

Windows server are designed for proprietary microsoft products and exchange, but not for the use of OS software.
