Hello.

I managed to get everything to run smoothly, turns out the machine I was working on had been abused in some serious ways and after reinstalling everything from scratch (windows, iis, …) wp worked perfectly from scratch, and the only thing I had to do to use permalinks w/ index.php was indeed create a wp-404-handler.php wit “include(“index.php”);”.

Thanks again and sorry for the trouble.

Hi.

I’ve been trying for a while now and I can’t get it to work, at first I thought it was a problem only if I didn’t use “index.php” in the url, but it doesn’t work with any other option other than the default url/?p=XXX. The other WP default options (index.php/year/month/day/name | index.php/year/month/name | …).

I’m completely lost as of why this doesn’t work, and after reading the code I’m beginning to think this is some kind of limitation of IIS, the problem is that WP is supposed to work in IIS so that can’t be it…

Any ideas?

Hi again.

I haven’t really looked at that part of wp_settings.php jet, but just a quick test changing the 404-redirect script with the one you suggested delivered some results (I don’t know if useful or not):

With only “require(‘index.php’);” in the script, the posts don’t work, It gives a “there’s no entry with your search criteria” text (not exactly, that’s translated from the Spanish), the interesting thing is that now the information and category links show the same page instead of the 404 one.

If that’s not useful, I’ll try to get into the wp_settings.php file tomorrow and do some try and error hoping to get it working without expending too much time with that issue.

Thanks again.

Thanks for answering so fast.

I did read that post and tried the scripts, all of them work with the posts with also fail with the info/category/… links.

Sadly the machine I’m working on is on a LAN server without connection to internet so I can’t show you the error, if there is any info I could gather and post please tell me and I will do. If hat isn’t enough I’ll try to get my hands on another IIS server(I’m not sure if it will be possible) so I can replicate the error.

Again, thanks for the help.
