Switch was fine with minimal downtime. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271241#post-1076068 Sun, 17 May 2009 01:19:11 +0000 denvertim 1076068@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yes I saw those but was wondering if there were any other options. I guess it sounds like I need to split off this domain to Linux and keep the rest on the Windows account. Thanks. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271241#post-1075746 Sat, 16 May 2009 16:33:28 +0000 Chris_K 1075746@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Do a quick search here in these forums for godaddy and windows hosting... Seems the consensus is that you're best served by requesting a move to a Linux server. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271241#post-1075651 Sat, 16 May 2009 13:37:36 +0000 denvertim 1075651@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've got Wordpress installed on a Godaddy Windows server running IIS7 - had it installed automatically via the control panel.</p> <p>The domain is now xyz.com but before I had the domain I had it hosted on another domain (same hosting account) as otherdomain.com/xyz</p> <p>Sometimes when I'm in the settings section it kicks me to the login screen which keeps trying to redirect me to<br /> <code><a href="http://xyz.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fxyz.com%2Fxyz%2Fwp-admin%2Foptions-general.php" rel="nofollow">http://xyz.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fxyz.com%2Fxyz%2Fwp-admin%2Foptions-general.php</a></code><br /> Note how now it's looking for the xyz folder on xyz.com which doesn't exist - it should just be the straight xyz.com.</p> <p>The other problem is I'm trying to use permalinks but they're not working - I get a 404 error. Strangely enough when I use the default<br /> <code><a href="http://xyz.com/index.php/2009/05/sample-post/" rel="nofollow">http://xyz.com/index.php/2009/05/sample-post/</a></code><br /> it doesn't work, but whe I change the first / to a ?<br /> <code><a href="http://xyz.com/index.php?2009/05/sample-post/" rel="nofollow">http://xyz.com/index.php?2009/05/sample-post/</a></code><br /> as a custom permalink it then works. But that doesn't seem right!</p> <p>Hope you guys can help! </p>
