Permissions

[Elfinster]

I'm getting this error while trying to rename a file on my webserver

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'

Permission denied

/pictures/testy.asp, line 11

Now I've gone and checked the permissions on the folder through the limited web utility my hosting service provides me and I've given the folder all possible permissions.

I had a page that would upload a file and then rename it to the email address of the user that uploaded it (for uniqueness). It worked fine, then while working on a newer version of my site (setting up new folders) I get this error while trying to exercise anything requiring modify rights as an anonymous user (move, rename). Nothing on the original page changed, but once I reset all the permissions from the root even the original errors out now. Just to double check I made a simple script so I could completely eliminate it as a problem.

<%
 
dim fs
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 
 
 
path3 = Server.MapPath("sample3.txt") 
path4 = Server.MapPath("sample.txt") 
 
fs.MoveFile path4,path3
 
 
 
set fs=nothing
 
%>

I'm using godaddy as my host and they keep insisting its not a permissions problem and that everything is set right. Have you guys ever had a similar problem and how did it get fixed?

As I remember I usually have to pull my hair for a while and walk away from the computer and make myself a sandwich. Then it works.

So anonymous user has every possible permission? That is exactly what I would have tried. Try posting in the IIS forum as well, sometimes they have good input on this type of thing.

I'll do that, thanks.
