Ok–it’s called .htaccess w/no extension? Also, please note the requirements for pretty permalinks on IIS:
◾ Microsoft IIS 7+ web server with the URL Rewrite 1.1+ module and PHP 5 running as FastCGI
Do you have this on your server?
YES HERE IS SPEC
Programming Support
Windows Server 2008
IIS 7.0, ASP.NET 4.5, ASP, PHP 5.2x, PHP 5.3x, GD, cURL, CGI, mcrypt
MySQL 5, MSSQL
Zend Optimizer, Zend Engine, ionCube Loader
There’s a difference between CGI & fast CGI. *Fast* CGI appears to be a requirement for using pretty permalinks on IIS.
I’m suspecting that’s true. But here’s something else we can try. It’s called “pathinfo” permalinks. The difference between it & pretty permalinks is that pathinfo permalinks have index.php/ as the first part. So, if you want post name to be your permalink structure, you’d say:
index.php/%postname%
Frankly I’ve never done this because I use a Linux hosting platform & pretty permalinks work for me, but let’s try pathinfo permalinks & see if they work for you.
Well, like I said, I’ve never done this, so we’re in uncharted territory. However, please log into your dashboard, go to ‘Settings > Permalinks’, choose ‘Custom Structure’ from the list, & put the code I gave you in the edit field. Let’s see if that flies.
O, yeah–& don’t forget to save the changes.
