404 - File or directory not found. when use codeigniter in windows iis

Facing error message when deploy codeigniter php site to windows server 2013 (iis8)

404 - File or directory not found.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

The main issue is because of the url rewrite doesn't work in IIS without proper setting in web.config (IIS doesn't read .htacess)

What we need to do is open web.config

Add code below into the correct

<rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Rule" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
      <conditions>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        <add input="{URL}" pattern="^/favicon.ico$" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
      </conditions>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite> 

>

If you are want to create the new web.config without others configuration, the web.config shoud looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>

<system.webServer>

    <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
    <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true"/>

   <rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Rule" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
      <conditions>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        <add input="{URL}" pattern="^/favicon.ico$" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
      </conditions>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite> 

</system.webServer>


</configuration> 

Hope this helps

Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

I've upload and setup wordpress in windows server 2008 R2 using IIS. After successfully setup this application.

Facing error "Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2014/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?". Prior to that, there are already some setting have been done, please check http://dotnetfish.blogspot.com/2013/10/error-message-500-internal-server-error.html

How to solve the problem? When upload the file to wordpress, the file will save into upload folder inside wp-content. What i do is add a modify permission to user IUSR and apply the setting to child folder as well.

After done the setting, problem solved.

Error Message 500 – Internal server error when try to access image uploaded into wordpress in IIS

When try to access to the photo / image that uploaded in WordPress that setup in IIS 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, error message below displayed:

Issue:

Server Error 

500 – Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

This is the big issue because all the uploaded image cannot displayed in the browser when click on it. Although we have granted the modify permission for user IUSR and {servername}\IIS_IUSRS to the directory and childdirectory /blog/wp-content/uploads/subdirectory but it still cannot be displayed.

Root Cause:
After check around, we found out that when we use PHP to upload a file. PHP will sends the file to a temporary directory on the hard drive (In my case C:\Windows\Temp) and then copies it over to it’s intended directory. You can find which one is the temporary folder by checking on the line “upload_tmp_dir” in php.ini.

Solution: 
Go to C:\Windows\Temp folder, grant “modify” permissions to both IUSR and {servername}\IIS_IUSRS user accounts.

It solve my problem.
