Sean, In order for friendly urls to work in FarCry 5.1 you must have a rewrite engine in place (i.e. mod_rewrite, or isapi_rewrite). Also, FarCry checks only once if it is working (by going to http://domain/pingFU) and then it caches the result (a boolean stating whether friendly urls are working). Thus, if you setup the rewrite engine correctly on the web server, you have to update app in FarCry so the cache can clear.
But before you start testing for updateapp (to see if your rewrite configs are working), it's easier to just check whether or not friendly urls are working yourself by doing (http://domain/pingFU) and seeing if you get the message "PING FU SUCCESS". If you get that result, then go ahead and update the app scope. As a side note: Sometimes when you change certain settings in isapi_rewrite, they won't take effect until you restart IIS (and always the same with Apache (excluding .htaccess config)). It's fast enough to restart and shouldn't affect your users.
