Behavior: Seems to happen randomly, to different wordpress sites.
It will also fix itself after a few minutes, but the problem will
resurface anywhere from once to several times an hour.
The experience for the user is that they click on any link or request
any link to my site and they get the homepage html, despite the URL in
the address window clearly changing.
Setup:
User-mode caching, set to 2:00 minutes. Vary by querystring set to
"*" (I optionally tried setting this to ".*" but problem still
occurs).
Win2k8 / IIS7
PhP 5.2.9
Latest fast-cgi windows binary (thread unsafe version)
Wordpress 2.7.1
Ive tried everything I can think of to isolate or further troubleshoot
this issue to no avail. Ive redownloaded the php binaries, tried
various setting changes in application host file, php.ini, tweaking
maxRequests and other settings, and the problem persists.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? What am i missing here?
Is output caching working before the friendly url is converted back to
a querystring? Related searches turned up nothing. echoing the
querystring on a wordpress site returns nothing as I drill down into a
wordpress site, leading me to believe that the behavior im seeing is
when a file gets cached, IIS only sees the homepage index.php file and
returns that once traffic gets high enough to trigger caching.
Im going back to apache. Screw this.
