Thank you for the response. I took a quick look, and it states that this is for XP Home. We are running Windows 2000 SBS. Will this still work?
Also, can you explain why I am hitting the 404 error? I have confirmed and re-confirmed that the files are in the correct place, and even opened up extra permissions, but with no success.
I’m not much with IIS, but I did poke around the site. I can open every file I tried that wasn’t a .php file– .css, .txt, .js, .html– and I worked through a number of directories. When I tried to open a .php file I got a 404 error. Interestingly, when I tried to open a spurious .php file I got redirected to the home page. Only the .php files which should be there gave me the error. I’m not really sure what to conclude from this, but maybe it will help.
I should not have been doing this at 1 in the morning…
The penny finally dropped. When I tested on another site that was running PHP to run our forum I realized that I selected the wrong site. We used to run our forum under our primary website, but moved it to its own domain, and I guess when we migrated to our new server we did not turn PHP on for the original site. I tried moving WP to the correct site (that really is running .php as an extension) and all went off without a hitch. I added the .php extension to the Hot Sauce Depot site from within IIS and now everything works.
Sorry for all of the trouble, but maybe someone else will read this and avoid the same (stupid) mistake.
