fopen causing permission errors on IIS

Hello,

I'm trying to find out how to set the file permissions on an IIS server so I can execute file handling functions such as fopen, fputs, fclose ect.


I know this is pretty basic but I've yet to find a solution.

thanks for your help!

I believe the third user note at the following link should help - http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php

hey thanksfor your help. I didn't understand what they mean by this:


Under 'Home Directory', 'Virtual Directory', or 'Directory', do the following:

I assumed that they were referring to the "Web Sites" folder where all my website directories are stored but when I clicked on Set Permissions, or Properties " I didn't see any options to "Change the Execute Permissions to 'Scripts only'"

Sorry, I'm an IIS newbie.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

The problem was that I was trying to grant the security permissions through IIS manager instead of simple old explorer. I just had to grant the default web viewing (in our case: IUSR_WW251) group permissions to the folder where the scripts were being read.

Here's what I did:

Windows Explorer >> Parent folder where scripts are reading/writing to files >> Sharing and Security >>
Security tab >> Add >> Advanced >> Find Now >> choose default web user (IUSR_WW251) >> OK >> OK
