I'm currently running Wordpress 1.5.2 under IIS at http://www.lazycoder.com and www.scottkoon.org. I migrated the installations from a Linux box to
webhost4life.com. I use the control panel provided by my web host to handle any file permissions issues. The rewrite rules were a bit of a challenge since I had been using mod_rewrite when I was on a Linux host. I changed my permalink settings in Wordpress to the "
index.php" format suggested by Wordpress, then I created a custom, dynamic 404.php file to handle redirecting incoming links using the old permalink format to the new location. It mainly involved inserting the "
index.php" into the querystring.
All in all, it wasn't rocket surgery. File permissions are file permissions. I certainly didn't have administrative access to the server at my webhost, but I was able to get Wordpress up and running with minimal fuss. If I hadn't had to write the custom 404 redirector, it would have taken me about 10 minutes, including the time it took to FTP the files to my host, to get it running under IIS.
YMMV though.
