• Hello, I have used WordPress before but am new to hosting it on a server we run and have ran into a few issues. I was able to get WordPress multi site working and have added a second site but now the homepages load for both sites but any links to pages or posts on either site return an error. I suspect it might have something to do with permalink settings but have not found anything useful in fixing this so I thought i would try the forums. WordPress is being run off of windows server 2008 and if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

    Are you running IIS, and what’s in your web.config (or .htaccess…)

    Yes we are running IIS and here is the current web.config file.

    Tagged IIS in the hopes one of those smart folks shows up 🙁 Alas, I am not one.
