 If WordPress is installed in the root directory (e.g., www.example.com) on
 a server not pre-configured for PHP, "index.php" will not be a default
 page name on the server.  This leads to 404 errors when requesting the
 homepage (e.g., www.example.com).

 A simple fix is to update the web.config for the WordPress install to add
 this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <configuration>
     <system.webServer>
         <defaultDocument>
             <files>
                 <add value="index.php" />
             </files>
         </defaultDocument>
         <rewrite>
             <rules>
                 <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
                     <match url=".*" />
                     <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile"
 negate="true" />
                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}"
 matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                     </conditions>
                     <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
                 </rule>
             </rules>
         </rewrite>
     </system.webServer>
 </configuration>
