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!
