• On Windows Server 2008 R2 and using web platform installer. Installed WordPress to the root. All is working fine there.

    I then created a folder within the root called “SUB” and another one within that called “SITE1”. The URL is therefore https://server.com/SUB/SITE1/

    The site works find if permalinks aren’t set. However once they are I get a

    HTTP Error 500.52 - URL Rewrite Module

    error which says Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type ‘rule’ with unique key attribute ‘name’ set to ‘wordpress’ The content of web.config is as follows

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <configuration>
      <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
          <rules>
                <rule name="wordpress" 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"/>
                </rule></rules>
        </rewrite>
      </system.webServer>
    </configuration>

    Any idea how to get this 2nd install working with permalinks enabled? I’ve tried putting the sub site as an application but nothing

    I’ve added <remove name="wordpress" /> to the web.config file but when I visit any post/page it shows the 404 error from the WordPress install in the root

    Thanks in advance
