August 11th, 2009 I was looking for a way to use WordPress permalinks under IIS6 without having to use a custom 404 handler, and after some searching, I came across this:
This ISAPI filter removes the index.php from WordPress’s permalinks on IIS,making your permalinks more pretty and SEO friendly.
Because IIS does not support mod_rewrite module for rewriting URLs, so whenever you try to use permalinks, you always get something like this:
http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php/2006/09/02/…../
this filter can remove the index.php from url automatically.it’s easy to use,just install it and no further configuration is necessary.
Now obviously you would need access to IIS to be able to install it, but even for hosting companies, it seems like a bit of a no-brainer.
