Re: CGI script on IIS

Most likely, you have a permissions problem.

You need to identify what User-ID the cgi script gets run by. Most likely, the ID is a local account named IUSER_<server-name>.

This account needs to get rights to the files you are accessing. The alternative, is to run the cgi-script as another user, or to require user authentication, and use the authenticated user to run the script

If the file you are accessing resides on another machine, you need to deal with the fact that the account IUSER-<computername> is a LOCAL account, that does not have network access.

I suggest you talk with someone who has experience configuring applications in IIS. The majority of your question is off-topic for this site.

Yes, your right, it is off topic for the site. I was grabbing at straws at this point. I thought that the Everyone access would allow the IIS user to have access as well. I will work with the admin guys and see what can be done. Thanks for the prompt reply.	[reply]
