inetserver iis : new guy administering iis 6.0 ... help sought

Greetings,
I have just moved my site over to a new iis 6.0 server and I am pretty
new at the whole administering thing, however I am not totally lost.

I am using flattext zip code locator code and I keep getting an error
that my .cgi script cannot access a particular file. I am pointing to
it correctly (at least I am pretty sure that I am)


Here's my directory hierarchy:

cgi-bin
-datafiles
-products.txt
-zipcodestates
-statefile.txt
-productsearch.cgi



#B1. REQUIRED: The location of data file on your server.
Here's what I have inside of my productsearch.cgi file...

$data="datafiles/products.txt";


#B6. Please provide the full path to the directory where your state
data files are located.
Here's what I have in my productsearch.cgi file.

$statedatafiles="zipcodestates";

Any ideas? DO I need certain permissions on my cgi-bin directory?

Many Thanks

Hello,

Well, the user used to access the files on the file system needs
permissions to access the files.

You could use FileMon[1] to find out what user account is used (if you do
not know it), and if it is denied access.
