- Microsoft IIS 7+ web server with the URL Rewrite 1.1+ module and PHP 5 running as FastCGI
- Microsoft IIS 6+ using ASAPI_Rewrite
Your options are:
Use the ISAPI_Rewrite (typo above on the wordPress.org site – should be ISAPI and not ASAPI) module from Helicon and install it on your server.
- If your IIS Server has ISAPI_Rewrite installed then you CAN use .htaccess files / BulletProof Modes.
- IMPORTANT NOTES: If you have an IIS Server you may or may not be able to use .htaccess files and can only use Login Security & Monitoring. If your IIS Server is using the URL Rewrite Module then you can probably use .htaccess files / BulletProof Modes. If you activate BulletProof Modes and your website crashes then FTP to your website and delete the root .htaccess file and the wp-admin .htaccess file. You will not be able to use .htaccess files on your Server/website and can only use Login Security and the other features in BPS.
