I’ve followed all steps above and I’m hosting wordpress on my WHS HP490 with one website running on it
I just wonder if there is a way to have another wordpress site running on my WHS

Thanks

I have tried to update to latest wordpress on my whs, Apparently the only one that works is 2.8.4. Is it possible to use a new version.

I was browsing the internet looking for some good sites and came across your website. I just wanted to tell you that I think your site has some good stuff and that I have already favorited the page so I can visit again soon! Nice Job!

I have installed but it only works from the PC that I to home server from. When I vew from any other machine the index.php does not render correctly everything is to the left no images and links do not work. How do I fix I'm sure it's a config thing on the server side.

Hosting WordPress on you own Home Server has the advantage that you don't have to pay an ISP for hosting or for an SQL database – many ISPs charge for databases – mine does

Great!!…. Worked like a charm. Will this work with WHS "Vail"? Any plans for a Vail install?

It always says
You are not authorized to view this page

The URL you attempted to reach has an ISAPI or CGI application installed that verifies user credentials before proceeding. This application cannot verify your credentials.
Please try the following:

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view this directory or page.
Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials.
HTTP Error 401.5 – Unauthorized: Authorization failed by an ISAPI/CGI application.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

How I can solve it?

I agree with you – hosting your blog on WordPress will take care of a lot of the issues around running and supporting your blog, not least of which is availability!

Although it certainly is nice to have a local copy of your blog to play around on

I don’t know how you got it working because the “how to” stops at the most important part. All the links don’t work, because windows server with IIS 6.0 doesn’t support any kind of URL rewriting none of my links are working except if a manually add “/index.php/” after my URL but before the link I want to go to. Nothing I’ve looked up can fix this except if I upgraded to IIS 7.0

Looks good. I would say the future of the internet may not be as free as it is now. This is a good way to start learning early how to control your own blog. Peace of mind that you control your material is also an advantage.
