web.config for permalinks when two sites are running in different directories
-
I have two separate installs of WP 3.5.2 on a Windows 2008 server (sure wish it were Linux). Both sites work, and on the primary site, pretty permalinks works. The web.config of the primary site (https://www.strongwell.com) is as follows:
‘<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name=”wordpress” enabled=”true” patternSyntax=”Wildcard”>
<match url=”*” />
<conditions>
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” negate=”true” />
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” negate=”true” />
</conditions>
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php/{R:0}” />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>

</system.webServer>
</configuration>’The other site is in a subdirectory of the main site called “(https://www.strongwell.com/trainingnew) and it works fine but I cannot get pretty permalinks to work. I’ve tried NUMEROUS web.config options, but don’t know if I’m supposed to put a new web.config in that folder or add to the existing one here. Ideally, I want the configuration to be https://www.strongwell.com/trainingnew/%postname%/
