I have already posted a question regarding this with no response - so apologies for the re-post;

I am having problems using certain modules that apparently need their permissions set to 777 using CHMOD - which I thought was just for UNIX (I am running on a windows 2003 server with IIAS 6 which has php4.3.8 and MySQL installled). I have no idea how to get in to CHMOD to change all the permissions to 777. I dont know how to get in to chmod or phpmyadmin as someone else installed them on the server for me,
What do I need to do (and which folder might the certain application be in)?
Cheers for any response,

Rob

Re: Setting Permissions on windows 2003 server

Chmod 0777 permissions on Window Server could be as simple as clearing the readonly attribute of a file or folder. Or it may not be that easy due to NTFS permissions.

But generally just clear the readonly attribute.

The file system permissions in Windows are actually more powerful than Unix permissions, but they still work in a similar way. Using Windows Explorer, here is what you'll need to do to get the permissions set in a nutshell;

- Right click your XOOPS root directory, goto properties and select security tab. Add the IUSR_<computername> user account (where <computername> is you servers actual NetBIOS name) at set the read NTFS permissions for this account.

- Navigate inside your XOOPS root directory and select the Cache, uploads and template_c directories, right click goto properties and select security tab. Here select the IUSR_<computername> account and select the NTFS modify permission and click OK.

- Install Xoops

- Make sure you delete the install folder and set mainfile.php to read only (right click, goto properties and select read only tick box).

Hi Brash,

cheers for detailed response,

Xoops is already installed on the server - will this matter?
I have tried doing this remotely using my machine or do I need to be actually on the server?

When selecting the permissions for IUSR for the 3 folders I am unable to find the NTFS modify permission - so I just checked all the avaiable permission to allow.

This didnt seem to do anything, do I need to restart it using IIAS?

Sorry for being an absolute noob and I appreciate all your help,

Rob B

Re: Setting Permissions on windows 2003 server

Here is a new one for you - I switched my domain on our company network from is to corp. I installed XOOPS as a departmental intranet, however when I am in the is domain I can do all the admin stuff, but when I am in the corp domain, nothing works It tells me that I do not have permissions to tha area, does anyone know where it is identifying my domain so I can troubleshoot.
Thanks
