WordPress Permalinks Solution

Create a file called php.ini and put the following information in it:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
cgi.force_redirect = 0
register_globals = On
extension_dir = "./"
extension=php_gd2.dll

Copy the file to your website root directory.

This not only fixes permalinks, but fixed my thumbnail creation AND my ability to run other PHP scripts.

I put that file in both my domain and subdomain root, with no results. Any other thoughts on how to get Permalinks working?

The solution above isn't needed for webhost4life, at least not in my case. You can get permalinks of the form /index.php/2007/07/30/somepost/ working without a problem. However, if you want to get rid of the index.php too you'll need some other fixes. I wrote about it here: http://tech.einaregilsson.com/2007/07/30/pretty-wordpress-permalinks-on-iis/

It requires that you can set your own 404 page, so it won't work with the cheapest package.
