Don't forget Wildcard Mapping

by: Enes Bajramovic

After my previous post on how to install EPiServer on Windows Server 2008 by using EpiServer Manager i've got some questions on how to fix images to appear.

You shouldn't forget to set the Wildcard Script Map.

Here is the step by step procedure:

1. Open the IIS7 Manager and navigate to your site

2. Click on Handler Mappings

iis7_sitehome

3. In the Action panel click on "Add Wild Card Script Map"

handler_mappings

4. In the dialog point to aspnet_isapi.dll

wildcard_dialog

5. Click Yes on the message box that asks you to confirm your mapping

6. In the action panel click on "View Ordered List" and move your WildcardScriptMap just before StaticFile Handler

That should do the work.

Update:

I forgot to mention the reason why this is needed. When EPiServer is installed on IIS7 by using EPiServer Manager it will run in ApplicationPool with a .NET Classic mode which is basically emulating the way IIS6 worked. Wildcard mapping was needed on IIS6 and that is why we need it in this case too. This cofiguration is not needed for IIS7 integrated mode.
