Permission Denied

[dukelips]

We have moved our sites to a new server windows 2003/IIS 6.
THe sites are working fine except one of the sites.

it shows

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied
/LM/W3SVC/690271643/Root/global.asa, line 8

Whenever we try to access the website.

How to solve

What is line 8 in your global.asa file attempting to do? Have you set permissions correctly?

Marcel, I messed up the folder with another asa file.
But whenever i try to create a seperate text file in the server through Asp Im getting permission denied error.

Should i give write permssion to everyone for the specified folders.

Should i give write permssion to everyone for the specified folders.

I would avoid giving everyone write privileges, the IUSR_<computerName> user should be sufficient for classic ASP. (for ASP.Net you need the NETWORK_SERVICE account)

Thks for your timely help marcel.
the server is up and running fine.

One issue that i face now is bad request.
Even though the domain is added in the host header, im getting the error message.

The ip given is a local ip (instead of the public ip).
Could it be an issue.
