  WordPress in PHP via FastCGI Reply Contact The customize permalink structure "/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/" does not work on IIS 5.1, PHP 5.2.6 via FastCGI RTM and WordPress 2.5.1. I have set fastcgi.impersonate = 1, cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 and cgi.force_redirect = 0 in the php.ini file with reference to http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/247/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60/. Does anybody have any idea why the customize permalink doesn't work? Franklin Tse (whale)

  Re: WordPress in PHP via FastCGI Reply Contact IIS FastCGI does support URL's that use path info (e.g. /index.php/foo/bar). When I tried it sometime ago I was able to use customized permalink structure. However, I used PHP 5.2.5 and Wordpress 2.2; may be latest version of PHP or Wordpress has some changes that break that? Do you get any errors when you try to use custom permalink structure? http://ruslany.net

  Re: WordPress in PHP via FastCGI Reply Contact I think you are bang out of luck if you are trying to use Wordpress permalinks on IIS 5.1. Basically IIS 5.x reads the PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED values back the front to what you need, which means you are never going to get Wordpress permalinks to work on IIS 5.x without getting in and altering some code. Have a read through this forum topic where I had the same issue (though I was using PHP ISAPI). This is NOT an issue on IIS 6, and I haven't tested wordpress on IIS 7 yet but I'd say it'll be fine. ---------------- Dominic Ryan Microsoft IIS MVP www.iis-aid.com My IIS articles My PHP articles My How-to guides
