Comments on: Windows 2008, IIS 7, and URL Rewrite http://clifgriffin.com/2008/10/16/url-rewrite-for-iis7/ A low carb salad featuring healthy portions of politics, humor, and nerdery.

I just signed up for Softsys Hosting a few days ago and had the same problem. I was able to get it working by having them setup a custom php.ini file. I copied all the setting from GoDaddy's phpinfo() and it's working great now. If anyone wants my php.ini settings feel free to let me know. I'll probably write a blog post about it in a few days. -Rob Thanks for the post. I just signed up for Softsys Hosting a few days ago and had the same problem.

You might also consider having them go back to 5.2.5 and see if it gets better.

I had to disable that plugin as it seems to prevent pages like the comment submission form from redirecting after they complete. Well, scratch that.

I believe they are using FastCGI. At least, phpinfo() seems to indicate they are. (http://clifgriffin.com/info.php) This is one of the frustrating aspects of using shared hosting...I can't tweak these things myself! I notice the blog you link doesn't handle 404s with wordpress. I have had a lot of troubles getting this to work on this site. I have it working but only partially. I had to install "Permalink Validator" which seems to only partially fix the problem. Certain bad URLs produce a blank page. Do you have any opinions on this? Hi Bill, thanks for your comments. I believe they are using FastCGI. At least, phpinfo() seems to indicate they are.
