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? * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573784) * 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 * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573785) * There’s a difference between CGI & fast CGI. *Fast* CGI appears to be a requirement for using pretty permalinks on IIS. * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573786) * MEANS I CANT DO IT? * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573787) * 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. * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573788) * WHERE TO PUT THIS CODE * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573789) * 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. * [abletec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abletec/) * (@abletec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573790) * O, yeah–& don’t forget to save the changes. * Thread Starter [divyccx911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divyccx911/) * (@divyccx911) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-87/page/3/#post-5573791) * HI I SOLVE MY PROBLEM AND I M SORRY I AM A IDIOT .
