It's a good idea but I just don't have the time.

Documenting every single line change would take as almost as long as writing each line of code.

In version 8 over 250 changes are mentioned, and that's just the changes I got round to adding to the changed log file, I gave up after a while and just listed the pages, which is all of them.

I calculated that I re-wrote 80,000 lines of code. If I where to document each line of code changed would probably take around a year.

I get this same error on my server. I have Windows Server 2003 x64 with SP1.
 
I have made sure IUSR_servername has full permissions on the entire inetpub structure with no result.
 
I first thought this was the cause:
 
 
But I have set the correct permissions on that file.
 
I have reset all NTFS permissions on the entire system with the default ACL template, without result.
 
The only thing that makes this problem go away for me is if I make IUSR_servername member of the Administrators group, wich leads me to believe there are still files somewhere in the WINDOWS folder that IUSR needs access to. But what are those files, and why did this suddenly appear? I have another asp site called ASP listpics from IISWorks, and that stopped working too, also complaining about Server.CreateObject Access Error.
 
I really don't want IUSR to be member of the administrators group...

This means that the upload component is not installed correctly on the server

Checkout the documentation for the upload component you are using.

I have WWG Forums installed on a Win Server 2003 x64 machine and use AspSmartUpload as the upload utility. The IUSR_ account is set normally as the anonymous Web user account and does not have Admin privileges.

I don't know which upload utility you are using, but AspSmartUpload has to be installed correctly in IIS and have NTFS 'write' permissions enabled for the IUSR_  acct for the uploads folder. Write permissions must be enabled for the site in the IIS web Properties, and you must have the Web permissions set to allow scripts. If you install it according to the documentation it should work properly. Plus the 'uploads' folder in the WWG Forums directory must also have write permissions enabled at the NTFS level. Additionally, you should also enable NTFS write permissions for the following accounts: Interactive, Network, & Network Service. If you installed the Upload utility properly and installed the server extensions, these accounts should be listed in the NTFS accounts for the Upload Utility  web. If the Creator_Owner account is listed, delete it. Creator Owner should not be listed as an NTFS account in any web folder as it has 'no privileges' set by default.


The only problem I'm having is that users have trouble uploading files larger than 200k even if the forum configuration is set to allow larger files. I think this is a bug or limitation with the Upload utility and not the forum software.  I would suggest that additional upload utilities be added to the forum support or a resident utility be included in the package. One of the supported utilities is no longer available, and I've had trouble getting another to work. It seems that as time passes, our options are becoming more limited.

Usually the upload component has a size limitation of 2Mb although some allow larger uploads. IIS also has a default limitation of 2Mb which would need to be adjusted larger if the upload component allows it.

http is a poor file transfer mechanism- hence the size limitations. If you consistently need to allow uploads larger than 2Mb, you really need to look at an ftp-based app - uses a lot less server resources.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
