   Hi all,

   My dedicated web server has the URL Rewrite module installed and I have followed everything from http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks ,also found other links on Google that have helped but not quit cracked it (see end of post), and the pretty permalinks are working fine if you go to a post, for example http://www.cccit.co.uk/news/test-post.

   However, navigating to the home page results in a 404. So, http://www.cccit.co.uk/news is getting the 404. Disabling pretty permalinks from within my wordpress login will cause this error to go away.

   Any help would be my appreciated.

   Thank you,

   Oli

   Hi,

   Can anyone help on this, I'm sure there is something I have done totally wrong in the setup, as I'm not even 100% sure if I should have a .htaccess? or is this only for Apache servers?

   My web.config file is in root /news and looks like this

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   
   <configuration>
   
     <system.webServer>
   
       <rewrite>
   
         <rules>
   
           <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
   
             <match url=".*" />
   
             <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
   
               <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
   
               <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
   
             </conditions>
   
             <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
   
           </rule>
   
         </rules>
   
       </rewrite>
   
     </system.webServer>
   
   </configuration>

   Let me know if you want more information. Thanks
