PHP4, IIS5, file upload

Anon

I've seen many weird probs w/ these Windows servers, but this one rocks the house..

I've got a W2K Server running w/ PHP4.01pl2. The error occurs when I try to UPLOAD a file outside the server machine. It doesn't seem to write even the temp file. If I upload it from the server console ie. locally, the file upload works fine. I've set all possible directories to FULL CONTROL for almost all possible users, but that doesn't seem to do the trick - nothing gets uploaded. If anyone has any idea what could be wrong (like some astronomy-level settings on W2K-servers) please reply on the forum or directy mail me.

Sometimes I really wish that M$ never got interested in internet at all 😉. "double check the permissions" -answers not appreciated. Thanks.

I had a similar problem. The reason I found was that PHP put the uploaded file on the root instead of inside c:\temp

When some other server try to upload the user is IUSR_servername but that user has no right to c:\

When you upload from the server, you are the user being logged on. (That's strange btw, it should be from IUSR_servername)

Changing php.ini so the upload files go to c:\temp\php worked.

(I made a php folder inside c:\temp, and set permission so that the IUSR_servername user can write to it.)

Then it worked.

After re-installing the server, checking, double checking and triple-checking all the settings the upload still wouldn't work from any other workstation but the server.

And then.. Unchecking "Integrated Windows authentication" from IIS management did the trick. DO not use it in any case unless threatened with a big weapon. =)
