    I am using Godaddy shared hosting and whenever I change my permalink structure to post name I am getting this error whenever I access

    http://www.domain.com/post-name

    For example of errors you can see my page here

    http://www.investland.com.au/faqs

    I have changed the web.config file and still can not get it to work. Here is my config file starting with <configuration>

    *************************************************************
    <configuration>
    <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
    <rules>
    <rule name=”Main Rule” stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”.*” />
    <conditions logicalGrouping=”MatchAll”>
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” negate=”true” />
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” negate=”true” />
    </conditions>
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php/{R:0}” />
    </rule>
    </rules>
    </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
    </configuration>

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Check your version info first: GoDaddy Support – Microsoft URL Rewrite Module

    Then there’s this info – wordpress-specific rewrite rule example included – (some minor differences noted in your configuration example):

    http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/enabling-pretty-permalinks-in-wordpress

    If that doesn’t do the trick you might contact GoDaddy support for, well, you know.. support. 🙂 They should be able to set it straight fairly quickly.

    Hey there GodaddyWindowsHosting – I was taking a look at the situation and I happened to notice the site did not throw any errors when using http://www.investland.com.au/index.php/faqs/

    This leads me to believe there is another rewrite rule, possibly in a different web.config file, that is influencing how the redirect is done. I would recommend adding a <clear /> line directly under your <rules> tag – Here is an example of how I would recommend you form the web.config:

    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <configuration>
    <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
    <rules>
    <clear />
    <rule name=”wordpress” patternSyntax=”Wildcard”>
    <match url=”*”/>
    <conditions>
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” negate=”true”/>
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” negate=”true”/>
    </conditions>
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php”/>
    </rule></rules>
    </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
    </configuration>
