Setting permissions for inetpub folder

J

John Maloney

Hi Everybody:

I am writing some ASP pages that I need to run from my
http://localhost/inetpub/www/root/et cetera folder and it
has a database in it that I CANNOT write an Update query
too. Even though I am the Administrator on this PC, when
I right click on the inetpub folder and select
Properties, and change the default "Read Only" access and
select Apply, then OK, the change seems to take.

However, if you then right click on the same folder
again, the Read Only permissions are there and I get an
error message telling me that my database or "object" is
Read Only.

Can anybody help???

Thanks!

John

You need to assign the IUSR_<machinename> account write permissions to the
files/folders in question. Especially if you're using anonymous access. By
default, anonymous users authenticate as the IUSR_<machinename> account.
