Re: IIS 5.1 (WinXP Pro) not accepting file permissions.

You probably need to check NTFS permissions *not* the IIS Write Permission
(which is mainly used for WebDAV). Uncheck "Write" access in IIS Manager,
and verify that your NTFS permissions are correct. To do this, right-click
on the folder in question in Explorer and choose Properties -> Security tab.
If you can't see a security tab, disable Simple Filesharing first (in
Explorer Tools -> Folder options -> uncheck "use simple file sharing
(recommended)"

In answer to your second question - IIS6 will not be backported to WinXP. It
relies on certain system functionality that does not exist in XP

:I am using IIS to test some software (mainly YaBB and other free forum
: software) however YaBB is complaining that it can not write to its files
in
: the cgi-bin directory. I looked at the file permissions in the MMC snapin
and
: it is reporting that Script write access, Read Access, Write Access,
Logging
: and Indexing are enabled. It also said that Scripts have permissions to
run.
: However I am still getting the write problems. I tested the EasyMod
extension
: for phpbb that relies on write access and it reports that there is no
write
: access. I do not have FrontPage extensions but I do have ASP.NET 1.1 and
2.0.
: Plus I am using MMC 3.0 RC1. I only got this problem quite recently.
Before
: that it worked fine (apart from I had problems connecting remotely. I
think
: that was caused by the lockdown tool). Could someone help me please. (On
: another note will it be possible to backport IIS 6 to WinXP Pro. Its a tad
: annoying having to use old software).
