how do i get my aspsmartupload to work...

my folder config is:

D:\wwwroot

D:\scripts

(*made d:\wwwroot first, for a safer storage of my homepage, then made scripts for the aspsmartupload facility...)

i've installed AspSmartUpload correctly...

but there's some error!

It'll help if we know the error?

Also, is your forum located in d:\wwwroot\forum or in d:\wwwroot ?

The forum is located :

d:\wwwroot\forum

the error

try it out... http://www.mdk-data.da.ru/forum - www.mdk-data.da.ru/forum then in a reply try to upload

Hmm---in my original line 278 of functions-upload.asp it is just after the SoftArtisans FileUp component and BEFORE the ASPSmartupload component.

Are you sure you have your forum upload configuration set to use ASPSmartUpload?

a  new one...

this time, the structure is :

c:\inetpub\AspSmartUpload.dll

c:\inetpub\wwwroor\forum

c:\inetpub\scripts\aspsmartuypload\

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspsmartupload\

i know that...

so write permission is selected in IIS folder options right ?

if i, on the server wants to upload... then i should be able to right ?

since i have the rights to upload to any folder ?

No, it's not done in IIS.

Have a look at setting up permisisons for databases in the FAQ's in the ASP section of this site, the same settings need to be done to upload to a folder.

You need to give the IUSR account sufficient permissions to write to te folder.

When logged in under an admin account, r-click the directory holding the database or r-click the database itself and give the IUSR_pc account write permissions. This is easily done through Windows Explorer.

As borg stated, its not done through the MMC for IIS. You really shouldn't be able to "see" your database directory in the IIS MMC since you really should have the database stored above the root anyway.

I have read various forums about AspSmartUpload and am still a little stuck.

I get the following error:

aspSmartUpload.Files- Error '800404b5'

Invalid Files Name '1' (Error 1205)

C:\...............\forum\upload_files.asp, line 2893

- I have created a directory called uploads in my root folder that matches 'uploads' in my admin upload config.

- I have made the folder shared with full access in windows explorer.

What else am I missing?

& what is ment by IUSR_pc?

Here's a quick tutorial on it:

http://www.webwiz.net/asp/faq/server_permissions.asp - http://www.webwiz.net/asp/faq/server_permissions.asp

Shared access has nothing to do with it. If you are running Win98 or WinME then the tutorial doesn't apply to you. Also, if you are running a FAT32 partition with Win2k or WinXP, then the tutorial doesn't apply since FAT32 systems don't support security accounts.
