Re: Perl Svc

Is this question related to windows auth, if so did none of the advice given there help?

ikegami has already explained that the user executing the CGI scripts doesn't have sufficient privileges to access these network shares. Why not give the user executing the CGI the same privileges as the user you plan to run the service as?

I have no control over the web service, so in this instance I need to use windows 2003 with IIS. So when a user surfs to the web page and the perl script is invoked, it use the local system account that doesn't have priviliges to the network shares. A few other ppl I talked to said they ran into the same issue and doing it as a service worked as expected as we can tell the service what account to use.	[reply]
