God damn it's making life miserable for me right now. Is installing wordpress on a windows server ALWAYS such a pain in the ass or what? I have NEVER had such a go around just trying to get wordpress to function properly...

Themes won't stick. I can view the page ONCE with the new theme, if i hit refresh, we're right back to Kubrick.

The permalink structure looks real crazy like, i'm pretty sure thats whats fucking up a good portion of my plugins right now.

This is driving me crazy, does anyone have any experience installing wordpress on a windows server? I'm going to lose it.

That's one of many reasons why 99% of webmasters on here choose unix based servers

Windows servers suck ass.

I can install wp and a new theme on windows servers in minutes. You probably have your security settings set wrong or something.

Yup, sounds more like a security issue than a general windows problem, but I have no idea what exactly...I wouldn't ever get close to a windows based server, way too many headaches.

ya, i've been doing a bit of reading, and there's so many problems it could be right now. so fuck it, i'm leaving it in the hands of his tech guy. THEY can sort that problem out, it's not my problem. I just design the site, if they're server has a problem with wordpress they can deal with it. I'm no tech...
