Hi Arif, The URL Rewrite Module is not supported for IIS 6. You may want to ask your hosting provider if they would consider installing a third party URL Rewriting solutions on their servers, e.g. ISAPI_Rewrite.

I have installed a Windows 2008 Server R2 and I have installed WordPress via the “Web App Gallery”.

When trying to change the permalinks settings in the WP admin panel, I see the XML code I should enter in the web.config file.

The web.config in the root of the webserver only contains the values that WP suggested.

When I go to a individual post on the WP website, I get an IIS7 404 error page …

How can I check what version of URL rewrite and all the other things (PHP? FastCGI?) I have installed?

If you try to add the rewrite rule and get error 500 then most probably the url rewrite module is not installed. You can check if it is installed and enabled by using this code in PHP script:

< ?php
if (isset($_SERVER['IIS_UrlRewriteModule']))
echo 'URL Rewrite Module is installed';
else
echo 'URL Rewrite Module is not installed';
?>

Hi, Thank you for your reply… but it doesn’t seems to work …
Thanks, I guess we will just have to wait for it to be solved.

@Shir: there is a known issue in IIS 7 FastCGI module in how it handles the REQUEST_URI server variable for non-ascii characters. IIS team is planning to provide an update for it soon.

Meanwhile you can use this workaround:

In the wp-config.php file add this code:
if (isset($_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL'])) $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL'];

Hi,

I have tried to apply it on my site, which runs on IIS 7, unfortunately it seems to be working only when the page slug is written in english.
When I try to click on a page where the slug is in hebrew letters such as פרופיל (Profile) it goes to my custom 404 page.

Is there any solution for this? Thank you.
