Issues with Windows 2008 Hosting and Web.Config

    Hi, I have my web.config file setup and its working for the most part. I am having trouble with a few small rewrites though.

    (this is not using an htaccess file or the apache mod_rewrite language)

    When someone submits a blank comment the “wp-comments-post.php” file gives a 500 error.

    I also get the servers 404 error instead of the WordPress 404 page.

    Everything else with the “pretty” links seems to be working just fine. Does anyone have a more expansive web.config file that covers everything? FYI, this problem exists whether the blog is the main site or in a sub folder.

    Here is my web.config file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="WordPress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
					<match url="*" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" pattern="" ignoreCase="false" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" pattern="" ignoreCase="false" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="blog/index.php" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

    Thanks!

    Please check in the apache error logs for exact problem. If you have a root access of server then the default location of Apache error logs is /usr/local/apache/logs/error_logs. If you do not have a root access of server and using cPanel control panel to manage your domain then there is a option “Error logs” from where you can check the same thing.

    Its on IIS not Apache. That is why I’m using web.config instead of htaccess.

    There should still be an error log. No idea where it is, though ??
