Wordpress on IIS7?

paradigm · 11 Mar 2009 at 18:09

Hi guys,

I currently have wordpress 2.7.1 installed on a Server 2008 x64 machine, running IIS7 and MySQL. I can't get the media uploader to work, with the browser returning an "internal server error 500" message.

I know this must have something to do with security or POST/GET priviledges on the web server, but I only know IIS6, and IIS7 doesn't have anything where it should be!

Any ideas?

Load the website on the server from http://127.0.0.1 and it should output the actual error, and make sure you disable friendly error messages if using IE.

Can't do that, as 127.0.0.1 won't loop back to this site.

Ah. In that case have a read over http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-70/

display_errors=Off
log_errors=On
error_log="C:\path\of\your\choice"

is probably want you need so it outputs an error log you can read.

Sorted it, it was the uploads_tmp_dir in php.ini.

IUSR didn't have full permissions to that dir (and the dir was wrong anyway).
