I’ve been troubleshooting this all day and I’m totally out of ideas.
I am running Wordpress 5.0.2, Pro 2.4.4, IIS 7, Windows Server 2016 and PHP 7.2.
I renamed the URL used by our Pro-based Intranet site today, following the instructions found on this site for migrating Cornerstone data as well as the WP-specific suggestions. If I access the new URL by typing the entire address (http://<sitename>/index.php
), everything loads fine. However if I just type http://<sitename>/
the browser tries for a bit, then Internet Explorer says “This page can’t be displayed”, and FireFox gives a message that the page isn’t redirecting properly.
I have triple-checked the Default Document setting in IIS, and index.php is at the top of the list.
Here’s where it gets REALLY weird: If I replace the Wordpress index.php with a different php file, such as one just containing <?php phpinfo(); ?>
then it loads perfectly using just the sitename without specifying index.php at the end.
Please help…I’m totally out of ideas! Thank you!
