Hi folks,
I'm new to IIS7/Url rewrites.
Im trying to make
videos/playvideo.php?video=AjLlW8Uk8B0&feature=youtube_gdata&name=Eclipse%20Trailer
Into
videos/video-AjLlW8Uk8B0&feature=youtube_gdata-Eclipse_Trailer.html.
My rule is:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^video-(.*)-(.*) playvideo.php?video=$1&name=$2
But it simply will not work in IIS.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction or tell me what I have wrong?
I've been RTFM on IIS and no luck.
Thanks!

writing regular expressions can be tricky. You might post the question on the mod_rewrite discussion board (http://forum.modrewrite.com/) or consult the mod_rewrite cheat sheet (http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/mod_rewrite-cheat-sheet/). Good luck!

Hi folks,
videos/playvideo.php?video=AjLlW8Uk8B0&feature=youtube_gdata&name=Eclipse%20Trailer
Into
videos/video-AjLlW8Uk8B0&feature=youtube_gdata-Eclipse_Trailer.html.
RewriteRule ^video-(.*)-(.*) playvideo.php?video=$1&name=$2
You're backwards :) The regex will match the uri and the last bit is where you are sending someone:
RewriteRule ^video/playvideo.php?video=(.*)&name=(.*) videos/video-$1-$2.html

hmm...not sure about IIS7 but with apache I normally do:
RewriteRule ^video-(.*)-(.*)\.html$ playvideo.php?video=$1&feature=youtube_gdata&name=$2
use this link in the document:
video-AjLlW8Uk8B0-Eclipse%20Trailer.html

IIS 7 will import Apache rewrite rules with no issues.

You can use the new URL rewrite featured in IIS7. You will need to have the URL rewrite module installed.
You can get the module from these sites. Please take a look.
Download the x86 version for IIS 7.0 (http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1691)
Download the x64 version for IIS 7.0 (http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1692)
There are more articles relating to it and it clearly explains how to create rewrite rules.
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/461/creating-rewrite-rules-for-the-url-rewrite-module/
Hope this helps for you. :)
