Bad URL being generated for registration page

    Hi I am a newbie to BuddyPress and WordPress.

    I am using WordPress 4.1.1, BuddyPress 2.2.1 with theme Twenty Fifteen (tried with eleven, twelve and thirteen as well)

    * I enabled registration for all.
    * I went to the BuddyPress settings, left the components at the default settings.
    * On the Page tab pages were generated for Members, Activities, Registration and Activation.
    * If I press the view button for the registration page I get a blank page displayed with the following url. <host>:<port>/index.php/register/
    * If I log out and press the register link the url is <host>:<port>/register/ and I get a 404

    I searched your forums and there seems to be a number of people with this or a similar problem but I could not find a solution.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Did you setup pretty permalinks ? Use what you want, except “by default”.

    Yes permalinks are set to use /index.php/%postname%/

    have you the same issue when BP is deactivated ?
    are you on a local install actually ?
    is this exactly what you see: <host>:<port>/index.php/register/

    If I deactivate BP the register link is /wp-login.php?action=register and I get the word press page.
    Sorry, it’s a local installation. BP sounds like its just what I need and I am trying to give it a test drive.
    No I see the greater and less than symbols as expected. The escaping is just from the cut and paste into the post.

    Could my environment be a factor?

    Windows 7
    IIS 7.5
    PHP 5.4.9
    Port 8081

    Hey,

    I’m running BP on a local setup myself. Also new about two weeks in. But for my local installation, my link is localhost/mysite/pretty-link. Shouldn’t yours be similar?

    My urls are localhost:8081/index.php/pretty-link. I selected the postname example on the permalink settins page.
    How are you setting up your permalinks?

    Problem solved… Thank you to everyone that helped.

    IHaveToDoThis, your comments pointed me to the problem.

    Seems that IIS does not support mod_rewrite.

    I solved the problem using this link. http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/creating-rewrite-rules-for-the-url-rewrite-module.

    I just installed the rewrite module and added a rewrite rule to my web.config…
    <rewrite>
    <rules>
    <rule name=”wordpress” patternSyntax=”Wildcard”>
    <match url=”*”/>
    <conditions>
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” negate=”true”/>
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” negate=”true”/>
    </conditions>
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php”/>
    </rule>
    </rules>
    </rewrite>
