Making Wordpress 2.0 run on IIS

Perform the following changes:

1. Change REQUEST_URI in wp-settings.php and add PATH_INFO (Will make WP-cache work on IIS): if ( empty( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ) { $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; 2. Change wpdb in wp_db.php and modify this (Make sure all MySQL tables are using UTF8): ` mysql_query(“SET NAMES ‘utf8’”); $this->select($dbname);} 3. Change **get\_archives** in **template\_functions\_general.php**: } elseif (‘yearly’ == $type) { $arcresults = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS year, MONTH(post_date) AS month, count(ID) as posts FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_date year); if ($show_post_count) { $text = sprintf(‘%d’, $arcresult->year); $after = ‘ (‘.$arcresult->posts.’)’ . $afterafter; } else { $text = sprintf(‘%d’, $arcresult->year); } echo get_archives_link($url, $text, $format, $before, $after); } } } 4. Updated **Classes.php** so the search can handle quoted search: // If a search pattern is specified, load the posts that match if (!empty($q[’s’])) { // added slashes screw with quote grouping when done early, so done later $q[’s’] = stripslashes($q[’s’]); if ($q[‘sentence’]) { $q[‘search_terms’] = array($q[’s’]); } else { preg_match_all(‘/”.*?(“

   $)

   ((? 1 && $q[‘search_terms’][0] != $q[’s’] ) $search .= “ OR (post_title LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’) OR (post_content LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’)”; $search = “ AND ({$search}) “; } 5. Installed the plugin [Atom 1.0 for WordPress](http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/wordpress-atom-1.0/) and changed it so it would allow different feeds and work with IIS: global $feed;if (is_feed() && $feed==”atom”) { 6. Added a **httpd.ini** with the following contents: [ISAPI_Rewrite]# Rules to ensure that normal content gets throughRewriteRule /software-files/(.) /software-files/$1 [L]RewriteRule /images/(.) /images/$1 [L]RewriteRule /favicon.ico /favicon.ico [L]RewriteRule /robots.txt /robots.txt [L]# For file-based wordpress content (i.e. theme), admin, etc.RewriteRule /wp-(.) /wp-$1 [L]# Rules to perform 301 redirect (Remove index.php if already specified)RewriteRule /index.php/(.) /$1 [I,RP]# For normal wordpress content, via index.phpRewriteRule ^/$ /index.php [L]RewriteRule /(.*) /index.php/$1 [L] 7. Added a **Robots.txt** with the following contents: User-agent: *Crawl-delay:30Disallow: /wp-content/Disallow: /wp-includes/Disallow: /wp-admin/Disallow: /xmlrpc.phpDisallow: /wp-trackback.phpDisallow: /wp-settings.phpDisallow: /wp-rss2.phpDisallow: /wp-rss.phpDisallow: /wp-register.phpDisallow: /wp-rdf.phpDisallow: /wp-mail.phpDisallow: /wp-pass.phpDisallow: /wp-login.phpDisallow: /wp-links-opml.phpDisallow: /wp-feed.phpDisallow: /wp-config.phpDisallow: /wp-commentsrss2.phpDisallow: /wp-comments-post.phpDisallow: /wp-blog-header.phpDisallow: /wp-atom.phpDisallow: /wp-commentsatom.phpDisallow: */feedDisallow: */atomDisallow: */rss2Disallow: */rssDisallow: */trackback`
