“See, very few people run IIS, so nobody really gets to test it on that server. It’s hard to know what to code because, well, IIS kinda sucks. Different versions behave differently, and nobody knows what the stupid server variables are on different versions.

Of course, the simple fix is obvious: Switch to Apache.”

I don’t think glib excuses to defects in your code due to your own lack of testing are appropriate. Either you support IIS or you don’t. If you do, then a bit less condescension in light of your admitted less-than-rigorous testing and the resulting coding errors might be better received.

Just sayin’

Here’s another thread with someone having the same issue, with more info – it appears the update.php script name is being ommitted in the URLs.

I have verified that this is indeed the issue – if I copy the URL link into the address bar of the browser and add upload.php before the ?action or ?style (i.e. https://www.[mywebsite].com/blog/wp-admin/upload.php?action=… then it works perfectly.

So the question now is – why is the script name being ommitted on these URLS and how to fix the problem?

I am having the exact same problem on version 2.3.2, fresh install, IIS 6, MySQL 5.0.21, PHP version 5.1.4.

In Write mode, I can successfully upload a file (say a .gif) and send it to the Editor, and it appears correctly in the post. It exists in the /wp-content/uploads folder (in the date hierarchy automatically created).

However, if I go back to Write mode to create a new post and click the Browse All link, instead of seeing the file I previously uploaded, the Dashboard loads in a frame.

If I go to the Manage Uploads page, the file displays, but if I click on the thumbnail, I’m taken immediately back to the Dashboard.

The URL that attempts to load when I click on the thumbnail for the .gif file in Manage Uploads is https://www.[mywebsite].com/blog/wp-admin/?action=edit&ID=6

The URL for “Browse All” in Write mode is:
https://www.[mywebsite].com/blog/wp-admin/?style=inline&tab=browse-all&post_id=-1201564460&_wpnonce=4b12327c4f&ID&action&paged

Any ideas on what’s happening and how to fix it?

TIA!
