Description
Adds a Friendly URLs guide for Microsoft IIS (
web.config+ URL Rewrite) in EN, RU, and ES, and links it from the Friendly URLs hub and Advanced Installation “See also” lists.Community installs on IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012 R2) often failed because rewrite lived under
core/, URL Rewrite was missing, orfriendly_urlswas enabled before rewrite worked. The new page covers root placement, a sample rule aligned with Revolution’s rootht.access, enable order, and a short note for multi-language extras.Verified against Revolution
3.xrootht.access(Friendly URLs block →index.php?q=).Affected versions
3.x (same rewrite pattern applies to 2.x IIS setups, but docs target the current tree).
