URL Rewriting for IIS 7.5

Question for Randy Hoyt , I am using IIS 7.5 as my server and using the default IIS manager for running my PHP code. Up to to the URL rewritting, I had no problem rendering the web pages created for the "Enhancing a Simple PHP Application" but once I started the URL rewriting section my problems started. Thankfully, I figured out how to import the .htaccess file into the "Url Rewrite" program in IIS Manager. But after I did the code in the "Seperating Concerns: Views" video located in the "Refactoring the Codebase", I got this error:

http://bit.ly/17i9yu0

Here is the web.config file that was configured by IIS when I imported the .htaccess file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                 <rule name="Imported Rule 1">
                    <match url="^shirts/$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="/shirts/shirts.php" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 2">
                    <match url="^shirts/([0-9]+)/$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="/shirts/shirt.php?id={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 3">
                    <match url="^receipt.php$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="/receipt/" redirectType="Permanent" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 4">
                    <match url="^contact.php$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="/contact/" redirectType="Permanent" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 5">
                    <match url="^shirts.php$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="/shirts/" redirectType="Permanent" />
               </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 6">
                    <match url="^(shirts/[0-9]+)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="/{R:1}/" redirectType="Permanent" />
               </rule>
               <rule name="Imported Rule 7">
                   <match url="^shirt.php$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                       <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^id=([0-9]+)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                   </conditions>

<action type="Redirect" url="/shirts/{C:1}/?" appendQueryString="false"  redirectType="Permanent" />
               </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
   </system.webServer>
  </configuration>

When I delete the .htaccess file and the web.config, I can go to the index page without any problems, but once I try to go to the shirt pages I get the same error I do when the pages are active. I am unsure of what to do, I would greatly appreciate it if someone helped me out. :)

Thanks!
