Re: Wordpress in subfolder, error 500 with pretty permalink

David Geisbush — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:43:39 GMT

I cannot find a web.config file within my /wordpress installation. I installed using the Microsoft web platform installer and the site works as expected except for the ability to use mod rewrite.

I've also installed the updated (2.0RC) mod rewrite tool and had hoped to use it, but I cannot figure out how to use it in conjunction with WordPress.

Any suggestions?

Permanent redirect to remove index.php for WordPress sites

DavidRPotter — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:05:06 GMT

I posted this question on Ruslan's blog post about WordPress 2.8 supporting the URL Rewrite Module, but it looks like the forums are the best place to get help.

The rewrite rule to allow using pretty permalinks works well on my IIS7 WordPress site, but I'd like to go one step further. I use Ionic Isapi Rewrite on my IIS6 sites and one of the things I have it do is to issue a permanent redirect to remove the index.php from the URL. The rules looks like this:

RewriteRule ^/(David|Technical)/index.php(.*)$ /$1$2 [I,R=301]
RewriteRule ^/(David|Technical)/(?!index.php)(?!xmlrpc.php)(?!wp-)(.*)$ /$1/index.php/$2 [I,L] 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^/(?!index.php)(?!xmlrpc.php)(?!wp-)(.*)$ /index.php/$1

Is it possible to do the same thing with the URL Rewrite Module?

Thanks,
David

Problem with the enforce lower case URLs redirect rule

DavidRPotter — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:50:08 GMT

I added the enforce lower case URLs redirect rule from your 10 tips article but it's not working. My WordPress blog continues to give me a Not Found page. The blog is at:

http://test.dpotter.net/technical

That URL works. When I type this:

http://test.dpotter.net/Technical

I get Not Found error page. Here are my rules:

Thanks, David

Notes on installing WordPress

Datagnostics — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:19:29 GMT

Having cleared all my IIS settings while installing DotNetNuke, I needed to re-install WordPress, or rather to make IIS work with it again. I used WPI. The install went fine, but I have a couple of notes or issues to report:

1. WPI said it would have to "install" MySQL, though MySQL was running the whole time. Maybe there needs to be a clearer way of phrasing that -- reconnect to MySQL? Update MySQL and reconfigure? Something like that.

2. In the WordPress part of the WPI install, I was asked for "Unique Key for Passwords, Unique Key for Secure Passwords, Unique Key for Authentication, Second Unique Key for Authentication". I've done a lot of WP installs by hand, so I was prepared to put in one unique key, generated at WP's secret-key API. I was surprised to need *4* of them, and even more surprised when the WP-generated keys weren't accepted due to too many unconventional characters. In the event, I took my WP-generated keys and just deleted the special characters that aren't on the top line of my keyboard.

I think the WPI needs to warn the user how many keys they're going to need, and there needs to be a link to an API that will generate one the system will accept -- preferably the WP secret-key API, since that's what we're used to using.

Once that was done, everything worked just fine. The WPI is definitely a *huge* improvement over the calisthenics needed to get WP working on IIS the first time.

IIS and Wordpress problem

LP_MAXI — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:49:14 GMT

Hello.

I'm trying to get WordPress running on my IIS 6.0 server.

I have installed PHP and MySQL and it works great.

But my problem is that I try to put wordpress in a directory called at WordPress. It is possible to install wordpress but when I visit. mypage.com / wordpress so I have to type the login information for me to be able to see the page. It is the login of Windows server, I must enter.

Why does this happen? WordPress directory has full read and write access.

Do you need more information about something. So just write and I will give you as much information as I can.

I have tried to get help on the Swedish forum but they have not been able to give me an answer that solved my problem.

Trying to build specific maps

waynesmall — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 07:43:09 GMT

I've migrated my website from Sharepoint over to WordPress on IIS 7.0. As part of that I've also taken my blog which was also Sharepoint but on another URL and merged it into the one website with the main website itself. eg I had www.sbsfaq.com which was Sharepoint Services 2.0 and http://blog.sbsfaq.com which was Sharepoint Services 3.0 and I've merged all the content into www.sbsfaq.com under wordpress.

I've got three issues I need help with please.

Issue 1 - This applies just to the www.sbsfaq.com site. I want to build specific URL Rewrite rules to redirect the old content over to the new content. I know both the old URLs and the new URLs for each article I want to redirect, but I can't figure out how to make the rules work.

eg I want to redirect http://www.sbsfaq.com/Lists/FAQs/DispForm.aspx?ID=138 to http://www.sbsfaq.com/?p=1041

Issue 2 - Similar to issue 1, but with the complexity of needing to redirect people from http://blog.sbsfaq.com to www.sbsfaq.com

eg I want to redirect http://blog.sbsfaq.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=305 to http://www.sbsfaq.com/?p=725

Issue 3 - seperate to all of this I was trying to get pretty permalinks working. I wanted to get it to be /articlename/postid to get the best possibel SEO benefit, but whilst I can enable it inside wordpress and I can see wordpress modify the URLrewrite rules, when I click on links in my site it displays the same pages (is I click on a link in the menu and it displays my blog page). This last one is less of an issue for me but a nice to have.

I've tried to read the documentation and have messed with a few attempts to get this right but can't make it work at all.

I'd appreciate any advise you might be able to give.

Re: Can't publish newly created files from local IIS6/FPSE site to remote IIS7/WebDAV site

dpellenwood — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:41:05 GMT

I've narrowed this down to an issue between Rewrites and WebDAV. It isn't an issue with WebDAV or IIS version, but the fact that I have WordPress setup for this site on the new server and have enabled pretty URL's using IIS7's rewrite module. The web.config file for this site has the following code:

When I try to add a new file to the site via WebDAV it is executing the rewrite rule and writing the content of any file I publish to index.php, thus overwriting the content of index.php.

I thought I had configured everything properly for these two extensions (WebDAV and Rewrites), but obviously there is a conflict here. I would like to be able to modify my web.config files via WebDAV but at the same time, I would like WebDAV to NOT execute the Rewrite rules in my web.config files.

I'm sure there is a proper way to write "Don't apply rewrites to WebDAV requests" in the applicationHost.config file (for all sites on the server) or in this specific site's web.config file, but I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!
