in reply to Perl and windows 2000

Hi pdl_babu,

have you checked the permissions for the IUSR_yourservernamehere account (it needs the proper permissions to write to the directoy) and that under the IIS administraton utility you have permissions set to allow write access to the directory in question?
Let us know if this helps you at all.

Cheers

Martin

    Hi Marto,

    I check the permission for the IUSR_SERVER account and it is under the restricted user group permission (can read and save documents).

    Also as I said earlier, the script does all the required things when I run it in the command prompt.

    Pls. throw your thoughts on this.

    Thanks-pdlbabu

      pdl_babu,

      'Also as I said earlier, the script does all the required things when I run it in the command prompt.'

      When you run it from the command prompt you are not logged into the server as the IUSR account. The account you are logged on as will (Im sure) have more permissions than the IUSR account. Did you check the IIS settings? Have you read any of the documentation for IIS 5.0?

        Hi Marto,

        Thanks for your response.

        I have not gone through the complete documentation of IIS 5.0.

        I gave administrator permission to the IUSR account and checked if it works. I again fails with the same message.

        Any guess on what could be wrong.

        Thanks-pdlbabu
