Well I installed it on my window computer... depending on your question I could maybe help you

no real question. I find it limits me, because Wordpress is definately not written with IIS in mind. E.g. all these references to .htaccess

and with the limited finetuning available cos of my host, I'm thinking of switching to non-windows server.

.htaccess files works on my Windows box with Apache (for some things)

the MOD REWRITE thing on Apache works correctly

but with IIS, I guess it probably sucks

well, that's the thing. The webserver is IIS and not apache. And that's where I feel a bit of discomfort.

I found something about permalinks (I don't know if it's your problem really) : www.islandofdoctordeath....

good lord you have to be a sadist to run it on IIS. Why would you when Apache runs on Windows? don't have a choice?

indeed,that's why I'm considering moving the site patricksweeney

mrmuggles thanks for the link, am in the proces of restoring now, and it's back ok for 80%. Have some work to do still though

I read somewhere that you have to modify your custom 404 error page to get rid of the index.php.But then, you have no real custom 404 either

it is a pain. I've done it. Problem is ultimately you will move to apache. This will cause permalink issues. Do it sooner than later

thanks for the advice!
