Important: Here, installing WordPress is only for illustration purposes because, as you will see in the final Part IV of this tutorial, we don’t need WordPress previously installed when publishing to a web server a website already developed in our home or office computer. We are done with the tuning, time to go to the WordPress website and download the latest WordPress distribution, which was 3.4.2.

Don’t be scared by the apparent abandon of the page, it comes as no surprise that Microsoft does not care much about PHP since this competes directly with their own. To download Wincache, point your web browser to.

Note: WordPress 2.8 and later will update web.config for you if you grant write permission to web.config file (but grant temporarily only!). Install URL Rewrite 2.0, then follow the instructions on the above referenced links to set the web.config manually and you will be done. For English, I downloaded rewrite_2.0_rtw_圆4.msi. Point your web browser to, and by the end of that web page, select one of the 圆4 variants, according to your language. If you don’t know what I am writing about, read here about s in WordPress (or directly from WordPress).

This extension is important if you want to have Pretty s (and who does not?) in WordPress. We need two IIS Extensions for proper working of IIS 7.5 with WordPress, they are URL Rewrite and Wincache extension for PHP.

Part 3 – Fine tun then install a fresh WordPress for testing
