Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installing WordPress on IIS using port 82You might want to try making a change to your hosts file in Windows. Probably will need to open the port in Windows Firewall if you haven’t either.
The absolute easiest way to install WordPress on Windows including PHP and MySQL AND configured all correctly is the Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
You can get it here, http://www.microsoft.com/web/wordpress
you can also use our new tool in beta right now, WebMatrix and install it that way. WebMatrix also makes it super easy to publish your site to a hoster as well. You can get WebMatrix here, http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix.
Enjoy,

Lots of articles for WordPress. The guy that wrote the FastCGI module for IIS which hosts PHP on Windows as well as the WinCache extention for PHP is a heavy WordPress user.
Here’s his blog as well which also has a bunch of WordPress postings http://ruslany.net/tag/wordpress/

In reply to: Problems running WordPress on IIS/Windows?Hi mikedorey, the easiest way to install WordPress on Windows/IIS is to use the Web Platform Installer, http://www.microsoft.com/web/wordpress.
However, the version we have up there is 3.0.1. So you can either install via Web PI and just upgrade it or if you want to use the latest version from scratch you can install it manually and use these instructions here, http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/280/install-wordpress-on-iis/ The version numbers are out of date but the guidance is the same essentially.
If you have questions ping me on Twitter, markjbrown.

In reply to: /page/2 not working under IIS (ASAPI rewrite with httpd.ini)What version of IIS are you running? If you are running IIS 7 you can leverage the URL Rewrite module in IIS. check it out at iis.net/urlrewrite
If not you can probably find an answer with HeliconTech who makes ISAPI_Rewrite, http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/ I haven’t used it before.
hope that helps.

In reply to: Installed wordpress with IIS7, howto start?Hi there I work on the Microsoft Web Platform team.
Regarding your original installation it sounds like PHP didn’t register with the FastCGI module in IIS. If you are interested in trying to trouble shoot you could try just creating a simple php page on wwwroot folder and just open your browser to see if it appears http://localhost/myphppage.php
If it doesn’t I would take a look at this page here which has a list of articles that should get you up and running fast. http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/24/running-php-applications-on-iis/
hope that helps.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installing wordpress thorugh Web Platform installerIt sounds like WebDeploy did not install correctly on your machine. Go to iis.net/webdeploy and try installing the WebDeploy module then go back and try again. You can go to this page here and install WP 3.0 from there, http://www.microsoft.com/web/wordpress
hope that helps.
