Hi

We recently moved to a new server.

I'm trying to set up some software that I wrote that allows our staff to write content online and create the relevant ASP files.

The code works for our main (www.?.com) domain but when I try to write to a subdomain (sub.?.com) I get the "Permission Denied" error message.

I have created the IUSR account in the destination folder and given it full control but still get the "Permission Denied" error message.

Are there any settings that prevent write access from working between different folders?

Thanks

Mick

What Version of IIS is running on the new server? Depending on the version, it could be using a different user account then what you are expecting.

Unless your hosting provider has done something different you may want to give permissions to "Network Service" if you are running on IIS 6 or 7.

Hi Ocean, we're using IIS 6. Still scratching my head on this as the software worked on the previous server running the same version of IIS. Weird.

The following link actually walks though all the permissions for a locked down install of IIS5 & 6. This might give you some idea what to change on your websites to make it work for your install. KB271071 [support.microsoft.com]
