I'm a .NET web application developer so I naturally like to host my sites with IIS. I also do some Wordpress on the side and host those sites on IIS as well. I was excited about trying out processwire because I'm attracted to the content-type-first approach. I tried a few Themeforest Wordpress templates and I felt like they didn't use Custom Types where I thought they should and if they did there were extraneous meta-boxes that confused me and my clients. It took me a while to find this post and the sample web.config. I searched the forums for web.config and came up with over 100 results. Then I tried to search for IIS but it's only 3 letters so it didn't work. Finally I tried "web.config" and found this post. I recommend putting instructions on the Download page (maybe just a short blurb and the web.config file) or on the Requirements page or FAQ or somewhere where new IIS users like myself can easily find it. I created my database, downloaded the zip, loaded the folder in WebMatrix, ran the site, ran through the installer, and everything worked like a charm until I clicked on "About" and got a 404 error. I purchased a HTML template from Themeforest and can't wait to cut it up for Processwire. I plan on creating types for FAQs, Testimonials, and gallery posts. I also purchased the Wordpress template of the same theme so this will provide me a great comparison. TL DR: It would be good if a sample up-to-date web.config file was on the Download or Requirements page. Thanks! Philip
