[wp-testers] 404 error page redirect not working for

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Nacin, probably not the perfect person for this one, although the diff looks 
good, there's one url rewrite code that's messing with me, basically both 
sets in the .diff work great except the subdomain one has one issue.

On the MAIN site, not subdomain (subdomains are working fine)  but the 404 
redirect on the MAIN site does not work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="WordPress Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^index\.php$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="None" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="WordPress Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^files/(.+)" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" 
url="wp-includes/ms-files.php?file={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="WordPress Rule 3" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" 
ignoreCase="false" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" 
matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="None" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="WordPress Rule 4" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="." ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
