   I have a WordPress installation from a client on a subdirectory on a Windows Server.

   The normal installation has pretty permalinks, and they are working just fine. And now we are gonna work fix the old version up, thats why I put a duplicate of the old WP installation with working pretty permalinks into a subdirectory. I have a web.config file in the subdirectory with the same code as the normal web.config has. But all links on the subdirectory gets a 500 server error.

   The server is the following Windows server(Got it from Phpinfo):
   Windows NT DNP-IIS23 6.1 build 7601

   Well I think it is IIS 6+, but I am not sure. Since I am not used to working with Windows servers.

   This is the following code in original web.config file:
   

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <configuration>
     <system.webServer>
       <rewrite>
         <rules>
   				<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
   					<match url="*"/>
   						<conditions>
   							<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
   							<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>
   						</conditions>
   					<action type="Rewrite" url="q/index.php"/>
   				</rule>
   			</rules>
       </rewrite>
     </system.webServer>
   </configuration>

   I use the same web.config code in the subdirectory, but it is not working. Anyone that can help me out or point me in the right direction? I should also say that, the installation is working fine without the web.config file in the subdirectory. But get a 404-error on all subpages.

   You have to point the correct URL in Database.
   Under setting table I guess. 2 entries have to be modified.

   What do you mean point the correct URL in the database? The options table? I had already modified both the siteurl and the home row, they were already pointing to the subdirectory.

   Also, I believe this is a permalink / rewrite problem. Not a database issue, since everything is working fine without the web.config.
