IIS Frustrations - cannot create directory

[mikenash]

Hi Everyone,

I have managed to get PHP installed, MySQL installed and passing the checks during the first phase of the setup program.

I'm having a problem though in Wizard step 6 - after the database is successfully created, I get a lot of errors similar to this one:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SugarSuite-Full-4.2.0\include\dir_inc.php on line 57

(I also get a file permission error on config.php, htAccess).


I copied the initial files into:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SugarSuite-Full-4.2.0

In IIS I created a virtual directory called "Sugar" which points to > C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SugarSuite-Full-4.2.0

So, I have accessed the installer like this: http://127.0.0.1/sugar/install.php

I've tried the following:

• Create a new Virtual Directory, "Sugar2" with a virtual directory "Sugar2" referencing it.
• Change my default virtual directory to SugarSuite-Full-4.2.0 so the folder names match.
• Checked write/execute permissions in IIS for the folders.
• Swearing

None of them helped

I've restarted IIS also and reset the installer_locked flag. Probably I am making an elemenary mistake - would appreciate any pointers.

Hi,

I'm not an IIS user but doesn't it have permissioning within the application for the virtual directories / websites as well as being able to set NTFS permissions again the files themeselves for the IIS user account? You've done the latter - have a check to see if there are any permissioning settings within IIS itself.

T'was a silly sharing issue on the folder in XP. I am sure this will be easier on the "Proper" version of 2003 Server at the office. That seemed to work nicely, now I am adjusting timeout for CGI to get the last steps to complete!


Thanks once again
