Option 1, you can try getting a url redirect plugin for your iis server. Get the support team to setup this. And later you configure your website to use the plugin configuration file to do the trick. Note that this method can work, but its going to be costly, and it require some technical skill to configure the config file for the plugin. So forget about this! Its took me over $150 dollars and over 3 days work trying to get this running. And i failed.

Option 2, you can upload a simple “wp-404-handler.php” file that uses custom error 404 redirection script. Login to you easy cgi control panel, and go to custom 404 setting and add this .php file to your custom 404 redirection destination. And its done! Took you not more than 5 minutes to do it!

<?php
$qs = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = substr($qs, strpos($qs, ‘:80′)+3);
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
include(‘index.php’);
?>

1) Add this content to “wp-404-handler.php” and upload this file to your easy cgi ftp root /yourdomain/. For my case, it will be “/easycgireview.org/wp-404-handler.php”

2) Login to your easy cgi control panel > Web site/domain management > select your domain > Custom error pages > 404 > add in “wp-404-handler.php” > save changes > done!

3) Test your wordpress permalink url:

There are other option like mod_rewrite or php.ini configuration. Trust me, i had been through most of it, and they don’t work like the custom 404 redirection. Its too simple to be true! If you are looking for wordpress permalink url redirection, this article will help you.

During sign up with easy cgi, i bump to one silly mistake. Where on step 3 of sign up, after entered the credit cards information, i found out that for extra database, i need to pay $10/mth. Wow.. that is a very expensive fee for database. I thought it was mysql fee, that would be ridicilous. I try search the easy cgi forum and discussion site for answer, but i can’t find it at easy cgi forum. So, i initiate the easy cgi live chat pre-sales, and talk to the sales personal. Finally found out, the extra database is “MSSQL”, not mysql. The fee is for microsoft sql server database.
