Question: I am hosting a Wordpress website in `IIS 8`
I am getting the following error:

> 
> Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500
>  (URL Rewrite Module Error.)
> 
> 
> 

When I upload a new image and display.
If I go to `wp-content` and give `IIS_USRS` access then the image works, when I add a new image I have to remove `IIS_USRS` and add it again for the image to work

If I use the following web config the website never loads

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<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>

```

Answer: 
Use these below mentioned RULEs in your web.config file:

```
<rules>

    <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="^index\.php$" ignoreCase="false"/>
        <action type="None"/>
    </rule>

    <rule name="Redirect Image to HTTP" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url=".*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css|js)$" ignoreCase="true"/>
        <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:0}"/>
    </rule>

    <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="." ignoreCase="false"/>
        <conditions>
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true"/>
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true"/>
        </conditions>
        <action type="Rewrite" url="/index.php"/>
    </rule>

</rules>

```
I changed the permissions in the security tab to the wp-content folder of wordpress within the iis manager, it was necessary to edit and then I gave full control to IIS\_USRS and the error was solved
