odd one.

[chris leeds]

in fp 2003 on a windows server if I set a web to have read, write, and
execute I get an error about "can't create "filename"" when I try to save
the page on the local server (editing on the server web with fp-03), not so
with fp 2002 on the same os/ server xp with iis 5.1
probably wouldn't bug more than on in 500,000 but odd.

Chris,

Why are you setting the web to have execute permissions, as this can create a security issue.

Actually, the only permission setting you really need is Read in that section. Also those setting
are for users browsing your web site. For more info, click on the ? then drag over the section.

testing out a script for my upcoming creation! to create a file in the
directory with the script through a browser it seems to require read, write,
and execute.
It's no big deal but strange that 02 wouldn't balk and 03 does.

The IUSER_Machinename account needs create permissions on the specific folder.

the only thing bad about learning serverside scripting is having to know how
to deal with the local server. ;-)

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Functions that require the server to have specific settings, I was setup and test on the actual
server that will host the site.

agreed. but since this is the initial attempt I figured it keep it local.

Still best to do this directly on the actual server, even if you have installed the same application
on your local machine, you may not be able to match your host's server's configuration in terms of
path statement.
