New Install live to the world... Party Time!

Wha-bam this from the MODx forums:

Looks like @Sym has got this covered.
I’ll have to find a little more time to give this a try, and brush up on Rewrite rules.
Fun stuff, maybe not but worth it in the end.

Good to see this info coming out.
Spent a lot time first time installing Revo with this as friendly URLs are a must in my case.
It will help new users right away.
I like the way IISModRewrite works as it reads your current .htaccess and thats all. IIS6 didn’t have rewrite support, so i ended buying the component but it works really good. Im satisfied with results.
Once you get it done make a follow up here.
Maybe we can write a small cheat sheet with all this relevant info.

My host tells me I can’t use .htaccess, so I’m still not sure if it goes in a file at the root called web.config or what, confused.
Asked for help here:

In the thread Sym started with that other coded version.

If you’re going to use IIS7 native support will not be using .htaccess
I think the web.config is the place. But sincerely im not informed about this topic since i have never used it before.

My host is pretty good, but I think I’ve sent in enough support tickets this week.
They have great service, don’t want to wear out my welcome there just yet.
I can totally go without rewrite, but turning it on after a site would be launched and there were many templates in place, would that be possible to get it up and going at a later time? I’m not sure how it affects template tags, that sort of thing...
Learning... thanks for the nudge right away to check into rewrite furl’s then lithium.
