Yani, it looks like this might have been an IIS issue only. I had to add the rewrite rules back into the web.config after which everything worked fine. I suspect that for IIS users that they will need the MIME type changes as noted previously for this to work with your new version. I’ve copied the web.config below for any other IIS user that might run into the same problem.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=”.svg”/>
<mimeMap fileExtension=”.svg” mimeType=”image/svg+xml”/>
</staticContent>
<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>

Yani, Thank you for being so responsive. For IIS I added the following MIME types:

Extension: .json
MIME Type: application/json

Extension: .wpress
MIME Type: application/octet-stream

I had to add .wpress in order to accommodate the extension which used to be .zip and with your new beta is now .wpress.

With these changes export worked fine, import worked fine. However, I still had the same problem as before (404 error on all but the home page). For your information, this all seemed to work until the last update. I haven’t tried using a previous version.

Yes it is. IIS 8

Yani,

I’ve had the same problem. I followed all of your steps. The destination site is an internal (firewalled) development site. With the new A-i-O installed, and using the “File” option for export, the following happens:
-Export starts (spinning circle)
-Chrome (latest version) pops up after a few seconds and says, “Unable to retrieve status of the export. Is your server running?”
-Export never completes
