   Hi,

   I recently setup a site on WordPress 3.3.1, on IIS7 using PHP 5.3. I setup standard pages and blog rolls and wanted the homepage to redirect to one of the pages. This worked succesfully on a development server, but when I promoted to it to a live server (similar setup) the homepage was displaying the 404 page.

   Having dug into the core, I found the issue was down to the following line of code not comparing properley:

   /wp-includes/class-wp.php, line 181:
   

   // If the request uri is the index, blank it out so that we don't try to match it against a rule.
       if ( $req_uri == $wp_rewrite->index )
           $req_uri = '';

   After a bit of digging around, the '$req_uri' was set to 'Index.php' and '$wp_rewrite->index' was set to 'index.php'.

   So, this comparison failed to occur so the final $wp_query was querying data with a request of 'Index.php'.

   My fix was to alter this comparison to ensure the string was completely equal, making sure case was no longer an issue:

   // If the request uri is the index, blank it out so that we don't try to match it against a rule.
       if (strcmp(strtolower($req_uri), strtolower($wp_rewrite->index)) == 0)
           $req_uri = '';

   This resolved the issue. I just wanted to report this, maybe it can be fixed and put into the core - if so, how do I go about promoting that?

   Thanks.
