[mapserver-users] permissions for MS IIS on windows 2000

The folder that contains mapserv.exe - the IUSR account has to have execute
rights

For the folder where the temp images will be installed, IUSR has to have
write rights to that folder and the temp folder must also be accessible as a
web URL.

i.e.  if you use c:/inetpub/wwwroot/tmp for example - that is usually
already accessible as a web url of the form

http://localhost/tmp

But if you put the temp folder anywhere outside your web root path, you'll
need to make it a virtual directory via IIS Manager.

Are there certain permissions I need to set in IIS for it to run mapserver?
