How - Moving Wordpress from Apache Subdomain to IIS Folder

I want to move my blog from ;

http://blog.MyDomain.com/ which is running on Apache 2.2

to

http://www.MyDmoain.com/blog/ running IIS6

Current permanlink structure is ; /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

once moved I want it to retain the same structure.

So http://blog.MyDomain.com/2010/07/30/MyPost/ will become http://www.MyDomain.com/blog/2010/07/30/MyPost/

I have Helicon's ISAPI_Rewrite3 working in IIS so the permalink structure will work.

So, the questions are :

1. What is the process for moving the Wordpress site, and
2. What do I need to do to ensure that all OLD URLs will Permanent 301 redirect to NEW URLs ?

Thanks - and how would I turn every 'old' post into a permantent 301?

Dave Baldwin

Good question. First you would have to have a list of all of the old posts I guess. Then you would have to create a redirect for each one. Maybe there is a way to do a simple 'rewrite' to cover them all but I'm not good at that.

Still looking for an answer to the second part - how to bulk create 301's for existing pages (without doing them one by one)

a nice web.config redirection..
My example works in my case.. but Windows ways are misterious

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
 <system.webServer>
  <rewrite>
   <rules>
  
    <rule name="Redirect to nl WWW" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url=".*" />
      <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
     <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^blog.MyDomain.com$" />
      </conditions>
      <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.MyDmoain.com/blog/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
    </rule>
	
   </rules>
  </rewrite>
 </system.webServer>
</configuration>
