18988	"On install, IIS web.config missing setting for ""index.php"" as default page type"	scdetailer		"If WordPress is installed in the root directory (e.g., www.example.com) on a server not pre-configured for PHP, ""index.php"" will not be a default page name on the server.  This leads to 404 errors when requesting the homepage (e.g., www.example.com).

A simple fix is to update the web.config for the WordPress install to add this:

<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <defaultDocument>
            <files>
                <add value=""index.php"" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name=""Main Rule"" stopProcessing=""true"">
                    <match url="".*"" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping=""MatchAll"">
                        <add input=""{REQUEST_FILENAME}"" matchType=""IsFile"" negate=""true"" />
                        <add input=""{REQUEST_FILENAME}"" matchType=""IsDirectory"" negate=""true"" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type=""Rewrite"" url=""index.php/{R:0}"" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
