We copied two development sites from one development box to another. We are using IIS 7 and Vista on the development machines. The production server will use Windows Web Server 2008.

Clean URLS works great with the new URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7.

After copying the Drupal site and the MySQL databases, the sites load fine. But we are not able to save any changes.

We have checked the rights in Vista. The folders are read-only. The files are not. We have been unable to alter the read-only nature of the folders. Even turning off the UAC does not allow permanent changes to the read-only nature of the folders.

Thoughts on why Drupal is allowing no changes?

This took lots of time to figure out.

IIS 7.0 with FastCGI enabled does not handle URI_REQUEST like Apache. This causes problems with Drupal (and several aother CMS, such as Joomla and Wordpress).

Microsoft has released a fix. I download it and installed it, and then everything worked fine.

Cheers,
