Problem: Wordpress was designed to run on Apache and not on the Windows IIS server. However, my hosting is a Windows server and I want to use Wordpress (which does basically work on Windows IIS) but I also want to use Permalinks (nice URLs, not those “?page=23″ type URLS). I’m on a shared hosting plan and my provider has PHP/MySQL but is not going to load a ModRewrite software package.
Basic Solution: I used a php.ini file, a customized 404 Error page, and modified a little bit of WordPress code.
