   I've got Wordpress installed on a Godaddy Windows server running IIS7 - had it installed automatically via the control panel.

   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

   Sometimes when I'm in the settings section it kicks me to the login screen which keeps trying to redirect me to
   http://xyz.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fxyz.com%2Fxyz%2Fwp-admin%2Foptions-general.php
   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.

   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
   http://xyz.com/index.php/2009/05/sample-post/
   it doesn't work, but whe I change the first / to a ?
   http://xyz.com/index.php?2009/05/sample-post/
   as a custom permalink it then works. But that doesn't seem right!

   Hope you guys can help!

   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.

   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.

   Followup for anyone interested: changed from Godaddy Windows to Linux and all is now fine. Switch was fine with minimal downtime.
