I have clean install of WordPress 2.7.1 (base install with no mods) installed on a Windows 2003 Server under IIS 6.
Everything is running fine BUT I cannot get Permalinks to work for Pages. Any time I try to pull up the link, I get a 404 error.
This is true using any of the Common Settings options under Permalinks as well as any attempted Custom settings.
The only way I can get Pages to work is to use the Default setting under Permalinks.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Yes. Don't use IIS. Apache is better.
Or try this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite

Okay.....Soooooo....why doesn't WordPress.org just say that Wordpress requires Apache? It doesn't, and clearly says all one needs is PHP 4.3+ and MySQL 4.0+ (both of which I have).
So, could someone provide a serious answer? Is this a general problem with hosting Wordpress on IIS or am I missing something?
Did you click the link I posted?
Seriously. Click it.
