WP doesn't work in root of site on IIS (3 posts)

    Hello,

    I'm having trouble installing WP in the root of a site. When I do this the result is a blank page (no code, no errors). When I move the installation to a subdirectory, it works fine (after adjustments in the wp_options table of the database).

    This problem occurs on a webserver running IIS7 and the latest stable versions of PHP and MySQL. On my localhost I run WAMP Server 2.0 and I am having no troubles there. I have this problem with WP 2.6 and also with the new WP 2.7.

    I am assuming IIS is the problem, does anybody had these kind of troubles too and does anybody have a solution to this?

    Do you possibly have a blank index.html, or default.asp type file in your root?

    No, I haven't. The only thing that is in the root is a standard WP 2.7 installation. The webdirectory is identical to the webdirectory on my localhost. But I only experience it on the live server (IIS) and not on my localhost (Apache).
