 * Hello guys,
 * I’ve installed WordPress Multisite on IIS server, everything is working fine,
   except when I’m trying to save the changes on a few pages (general, readings,…
   every page that is making a request to options.php) it throws “Not found”. Changes
   are saved, but I’m not redirected back. Here is my web.config.
 *     ```
       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       <configuration>
           <system.webServer>
             <rewrite>
               <rules>
                 <rule name="WordPress Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
                   <match url="^index\.php$" ignoreCase="false" />
                   <action type="None" />
                 </rule>
                 <rule name="WordPress Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
                   <match url="^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+)" ignoreCase="false" />
                   <action type="Rewrite" url="wp-includes/ms-files.php?file={R:2}" appendQueryString="false" />
                 </rule>
                 <rule name="WordPress Rule 3" stopProcessing="true">
                   <match url="^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$" ignoreCase="false" />
                   <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}wp-admin/" redirectType="Permanent" />
                 </rule>
                 <rule name="WordPress Rule 4" stopProcessing="true">
                   <match url="^" ignoreCase="false" />
                   <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                     <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" />
                     <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" />
                   </conditions>
                   <action type="None" />
                 </rule>
                 <rule name="WordPress Rule 5" stopProcessing="true">
                   <match url="(^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*)" ignoreCase="false" />
                   <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:2}" />
                 </rule>
                 <rule name="WordPress Rule 6" stopProcessing="true">
                   <match url="^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                   <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:2}" />
                 </rule>
                 <rule name="WordPress Rule 7" stopProcessing="true">
                   <match url="." ignoreCase="false" />
                   <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                 </rule>
               </rules>
             </rewrite>
           </system.webServer>
       </configuration>
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Changing the settings to run PHP as FastCGI solved the problem
