Write Permission IIS5 1

[chris5g]

I have a computer with XP Pro and IIS 5.1 but cannot get the write permissions to work. In the IIS manager, I have set the permissions to Read and Write but I am still getting an error. If I try to use Windows Explorer to set the permssion, there is no Security tab to check if IUSR_COMPUTERNAME has write permission. The only tabs I have are General and Summary.

Are you logged in as administrator?

 

[chris5g]

Yes I am the computer administrator. It is a stand alone testing computer that is not part of a network.

If you have a missing Security tab for file properties in WIN XP PRO you will have to go to:

Windows Explorer
Choose Tools > Folder Options...
Go to the View tab
Uncheck Use simple file sharing at the very bottom

Found this in the Windows XP Pro forum. Thanks guys!

So it works now?

Yes it works now that I changed the permissions for the file in the security tab.
