WordPress MU on IIS 7
Posted on March 18th, 2008
Ok so installing this can be a fair bit harder than the regular wordpress but no worries – it’s all in the php configuration file. They seem to use a feature where by variables aren’t declared unless used so it is very important how you have php logging set to not break the code.
- If you get any “Undefined variables….” during setup – turn off logging and set it to core errors anyway.
- Make sure you have at least 64MB of memory assigned in the php.ini, the default 5.x has 128MB.
- Make sure you have a rewrite rules engine installed.
That should do it! If not … come host with me :)

WordPress on IIS 7 (Windows 2008)
Posted on March 18th, 2008
I’ve just finished getting wordpress running on Windows 2008 with IIS 7. A couple points to note:
- Do not use wordpress 2.3.3 – the install will fail. You must use 2.3.1 and then upgrade after the installation. I suspect this will be fixed in the 2.5 release.
- I used php 5.2.4 and FastCGI. Again, do not bother with ISAPI which should be dragged out the field and shot.
Enjoy!
