James Skemp's questions

I'd like to use the URL Rewrite module in IIS 7.5 to redirect all requests not from a particular sub-domain (x.domain.com) to a specific folder/file.

For example, these should work as-is:

x.domain.com
x.domain.com/asdf

While anything like these:

y.domain.com
y.domain.com/asdf
domain.com
domain.com/asdf

Should redirect to a specific page like this (exact URL, not dependent upon sub-domain used):

domain.com/a

Unfortunately I can't get the rule configured correctly, as while it matches correctly, most of the time, when it does it just results in a redirect loop. (I know I should put the faulty rules I have setup now, but they're not even consistently resulting in a redirect loop.)

Setting up another Web site in IIS that matches www.domain.com and domain.com is the easy solution, but I'd much rather have one Web site that handles it all and redirects.

What's the correct setup to get this behavior (either using the UI or adding it to the Web.config directly).

Thanks!

We've installed PHP on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box using Web Platform Installer (WPI) 3.0.x.

However, I'd like to uninstall PHP (5.3 in particular, leaving 5.2 as-is). Unfortunately, an uninstall option doesn't exist in Programs and Features, and in the past I've only upgraded PHP installs, and not had to do an uninstall. (Based on the lack of answers I've found online, it seems this is the case generally as well.)

I realize that I can leave the extra install there, but for the sake of a having a clean server, and making it rather obvious what version of PHP is being used, I'd like to remove the installation.

I suppose I could also remove the install directory - C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3 - but that doesn't feel right.

PHP Manager is also installed (also via WPI), but I see no way to remove an installation, only add.
