• Have the following problem: when I changed permalinks structure from default to ‘posts’ I got 500 Internal Error message. Then I created web.config file (my site runs on GoDaddy Windows server) with this code

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    
    <configuration>
    
      <system.webServer>
    
        <rewrite>
    
          <rules>
    
            <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
    
              <match url=".*" />
    
              <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
    
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
    
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
    
              </conditions>
    
              <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
    
            </rule>
    
          </rules>
    
        </rewrite>
    
      </system.webServer>
    
    </configuration>

    after that my site was back online. The problem is, that my site is single page and it works fine, but blog gives ‘Page not found’. On admin side I can do anything, except changing permalinks since it gives me 500 error and the whole admin side with website goes down. Checking web.config – it has some other code, so it overwrites itself and I can’t change permissions for web.comfig as it always 777.

    Any suggestions what can I do here?
