hi fellows,

iam running this blog http://www.embtrans.com , my hosting is running on Windows IIS and it doesnt allow mod_rewrite functionality.

i have managed to configure the pretty permalinks for WordPress using custom 404. here is its code

<?php

$qs = $_SERVER;

$_SERVER = substr($qs, strpos($qs, ‘:80’)+3);

$_SERVER = $_SERVER;

include(‘index.php’);

?>

i would like to know if there is some custom 404 code for bbpress on Windows IIS to make pretty permalinks work.

thanks in advance

Hi Mujtaba,

I don’t know about a custom 404 but have you looked into the ISAPI ReWrite module? It provides mod_rewrite functionality for IIS. Works great.
