[mapserver-users] Permissions on Microsoft IIS web server

[Brian Fischer]

Sorry I forgot to specify the folder I am talking about is the temp image folder.  Does this folder need write access by the EVERYONE account?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Mapserver users,

I am setting up a site on Microsoft IIS 4.0.  I was wondering if other mapserver users using IIS could confirm that the EVERYONE account on the webserver needs to have write permissions.  Everything I have read in the documentation says the user account needs to have write access.  Our IS department is worried about is security issues.  Has anyone had problems with security using this setup?  Is there any other account on the webserver that could be given write access, instead of the EVERYONE account?

I have tried the EVERYONE account without write access and I get this error: saveImage(); Access to file denied.


Thanks,
Brian
