Upload / Unlink on a Windows Server?

[Yari]

Hi,

I have a couple of great scripts that upload files or unlink them on my websites, great for adding photos, pdfs etc. Always on a Linux / Apache server.

A client of mine now is on a Windows server, and its been a nightmare trying to work it out.
They are running Microsoft-IIS/6.0,
and the full path is: e:\inetpub\esvc001082\admin\phpinfo.php

My errors range from not being able to find the file / dir, to permission errors. I have done plenty of reading, but nothing seems to have fixed it. Remind me to never compromise on using a Windows server again.

Some paths I have tried:

$upload_dir="E://inetpub//esvc001082//test//";
$upload_dir="e:/inetpub/esvc001082/test/";
$upload_dir="e:\inetpub\esvc001082\test\";
$upload_dir="./inetpub/esvc001082/test/";

Ok, my script looks like:

if ($upload_file["name"]!="") {
				copy("$upload_file", $upload_dir . $upload_file["name"]) 
					or die("Couldn't upload the image '" . $upload_file["name"] ."'...");  

			} else {
				die("Please choose an image before uploading...");
			}

Any ideas?

Thanks guys,

to me something looks wrong with this line...

copy("$upload_file", $upload_dir . $upload_file["name"])

is $upload_file an array or regular string? seems its being used as both there.

the path E:\inetpub\esvc001082\test\ should work.

Sorry for the confusion.

$upload_file is the file that is being uploaded in my form. $upload_file["name"] is the file-to-be-uploaded name, this seems to work fine, what I can't get around is the path...

So lets ignore the upload script, what about the unlink("E:\inetpub\esvc001082\test\test.jpg" )?

That should work right? It gives me wrong permission errors, and I'm not even sure if it's finding the file...

I have both my file and folder set to 777.

Thanks

the webserver might be running as a different user than is owned by that file. thats a likely cause.

Ah, I see. Are there any work around for this?

Thanks for all your help so far.
