500 Error on all pages during installation on IIS

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to install WordPress on shared IIS hosting. I’m receiving 500 errors on all pages. The installation steps I’ve taken so far are:

    – Unzip WP 2.8
    – Create empty MySQL DB and User
    – Update wp-config-sample.php with updated info and saved as wp-config.php

    I have tested that PHP is working by creating a page that output php_info. Is there anything I should be looking for in its configuration? I’ve noticed I can’t see any .htaccess files after unzipping, I know these were present on an old linux installation. Are there alternatives for IIS?

  • Most likely some configuration problem on the server. I suggest you to contact your host to find/fix the root cause of this problem.

    The problem was that the call to require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’) in index.php needed updating to require(‘wp-blog-header.php’).
