Yes, that sounds about right.

I went to the database folder right clicked --> went to Security --> then clicked add --> then clicked the button to the right, Object Types --> then selected group or user (can't remember which) --> and then typed in IUSR_mymachine name --> then clicked check names --> and it found it.

Interesting point!  After I got the forum running I moved it to another computer (Server).  Evidently, the database folder retained these settings because I didn't have to mess with it again.  It worked straight away. I only needed to adjust the path to the forum within the configuration options.

I just did it, but i have a cookie problem, so i don't know if it works :)

 

I did this:

right click folder -->properties

Sharing tab --> Share this folder

Permissions button --> Add

Then i've pressed advanced, object types and selected groups and users

Find now.

Then somewhere it says IUSR_mymachine

press okay en set allow :)

 

Dunno if it works, but if it works, let me know please :)

Good Luck

boRg,

I figured it out!

This forum application is really nice.  I admire the willingness to share it with people. I will be making a donation.

Well, the closest I can find to IUSR_machineName  is IUSR_mypassword.  I typed in IUSR and clicked check names and IUSR_machineName is not in the list, but IUSR_mypassword was.  Nonethless, it didn't work.

Also, I have made sure that simple file sharing is turned off. 

Stumped!

Interesting Note**  Before messing with the permissions, I was able to get the index page to come up.  I then tried to go into admin and ofcourse that is where I got my first 500 error, but after that I can't get the index page back up.

You need to give read, write, permissions to the IUSR_machineName account.

Where machineName replace this with the name of your own computer.]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2003 12:58:43 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/setting-permissions-for-xp-pro_topic8458_post43856.html#43856 <![CDATA[Setting permissions for XP Pro : Yeah, I did that, but when I get...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/setting-permissions-for-xp-pro_topic8458_post43855.html#43855 Author: shelton1

Yeah, I did that, but when I get to step 6, that's where it begins to fall apart for me.

In the properties dialogue box for the folder 'database', under the security tab, I have two entries to start off with and both have been given all but full control. The entries are 'ASP.NET Machine Account ( AG083922\ASPNET )' and 'My Name ( username@domain.com ) ' 

This is where I'm stumped. When trying to view the default.asp page, this is my error.

Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\forum\admin\database\wwForum.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
/forum/common.asp, line 249

It's more or less the same on XP, but you need to turn off simple file sharing from the folder options in the control panel.]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2003 11:42:56 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/setting-permissions-for-xp-pro_topic8458_post43835.html#43835 <![CDATA[Setting permissions for XP Pro : I have tried my level best to...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/setting-permissions-for-xp-pro_topic8458_post43820.html#43820 Author: shelton1

I have tried my level best to translate the instructions for setting the folder permissions, which are written for win 2000 , to XP Pro - to no evail.

Could someone help step me through this for XP?

 

Thanks in advance.
