Author problem after upgrade

To All:

I recently upgraded to Server 2003 from NT
4.0.....During the upgrade it upgraded me from IIS 5.0 to
IIS 6.0. Now I can call my PERL scripts, but for some
reason I have lost the ability to create a directory or
create a files. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

If I understand your PERL script is creating directories and files.

Check your NTFS permissions. If this is public website (anonymous access)
you will have to e.g. five IUSR_<server-name> account permissions to create
these files and folders (it does depend on how you wrote your script -- but
if you didn't specify any other account to run this under and site is
anonymous, then IUSR is the account IIS will use to create this files and
folders). IIS will honor NTFS permissions. If IUSR only has e.g. read
permissions on folder where your web content is, it will not be able to
create new files and folders. Be careful how much permissions you give IUSR
account.

I hope this helps,

Mike

Mike,

It seems after looking deeper into the issue. I see the
following in the event log:

The account that the current worker process is running
under does not have SeTcbPrivilege privilege, the
anonymous password sync feature and the Digest
authentication feature are disabled.

Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks,
Bill
