Since I’ve had no reply and there are a few similar posts on the forums as well I’ll explain how I *think* I resolved this issue.
My problem seemed very similar to a bug report I found on
trac: #5160 REQUEST_URI fix for IIS misses certain configurations
I made the changes to wp-settings.php as shown in wp-setting_23.diff I could then navigate through the manage posts admin section using the previous and next entries links, they appeared correctly as:
http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/edit.php?paged=2
Hope this helps anyone else with similar problems!
It works!!
Thank you to everyone who’s helped out on this issue, especially you Mojoworks, I really appreciate it 🙂
No it hasn’t created any tables.
Sorry, I’m an idiot – The post title should read Host upgraded to PHP 4.4.2
