What specifically must I do to enable a cgi script to
execute a process that modifies a file on the local file
system of the server (IIS 6.0)?
I've granted my iuser_account modify rights to a
directory that will house the file. When I use a perl
OPEN filehandle within the CGI it works fine...when I
remove the NTFS file permissions the OPEN filehandle
doesn't work. However, if I try something simple like
dir d:\wwwroot > d:\temp\directory.txt within the CGI
that won't work. If I return the dir command directly to
a variable then use the open filehandle to print it to a
file it'll ....so I know my permissions are ok on the
directory, I know CGI is properly enabled, I know I've
got all the necessary access to the executable I'm trying
to call...but it just doesn't work. No errors. Nothing in
the IIS log, I enabled auditing on this directory and I
don't see any problems, and Filemon doesn't show anything
either. Beyond the file permission changes I mentioned,
this is a pretty simple install of IIS 6.0
Thanks,
