Perhaps this could be a solution?

I've no idea about IIS, but it seems that using MetaEdit.exe or Adsutil.vbs you can configure IIS to accept that URLs.

Hope it helps

Perhaps under:

"/LM/W3SVC"
"/LM/W3SVC/n"

You can find the property "AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings" and try to set it to "true" or "1". I've read this in a MS page.

And I've find this article about configuring it from "adsutil".

Feedback will be welcome, hope it helps, ciao

I tried it and also found that page on the MS base, but it doesn´t work.

Unless I change the slashargumet configuration, but then I can´t use relative links!! I hope somebody can find the solution,

Slasharguments are not supported in IIS for Moodle 1.4.x.

I have fixed it in Moodle 1.5dev and tested it in both cgi and isapi mode, php4 and5 Do not set AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings to true, instead use cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 in php.ini. Isapi needs php 5.x or 4.3.11 (not yet released).

So there is NO solution in Moodle 1.4.4 working with IIS?

That is terrible news!!
