    Hello guys!

    I’m using a Windows host with IIS 7 and PHP 5 enabled for a website. It took me a while to get used to work with web.config instead of .htaccess, but there’s still on problem that I can’t solve.

    I managed to remove the index.php from my url using this web.config file, but my home page is giving me a 404 error.

    http://wmf.mus.br = 404 error
    http://wmf.mus.br/index.php = brings home page.

    I’ve tried almost everything that Google searchs suggested, but none worked.

    Help, please?
    Thanks!

    Web.config file

    <configuration>
  <system.webServer>
     <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <!-- Se possuir mais de um blog no servidor, mude a "name" da linha abaixo para um nome qualquer -->
        <rule name="wordpress" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="^(.*)" />
            <conditions>
              <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
              <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
	      <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www.)?wmf\.mus.br" ignoreCase="true" />
            </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

    try this code

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
 <defaultDocument>
     <!-- Set the default document -->
      <files>
        <remove value="index.php" />
        <add value="index.php" />
      </files>
    </defaultDocument>
        <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed"/>
    <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <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>

    After that you will go to dashboard – general settings – permalink. Select the custom and put /%postname%/ and save permalink. Now check once the site.
