Re: permission denied on file write only when running browser on application server

in reply to permission denied on file write only when running browser on application server

Knowing nothing about IIS webservers, I would be inclined to add this to my CGI code:

warn join(":", scalar(getpwuid($<)), scalar(getgrgid($())), "\n"

And then look at the logs when making a request. Then verify your upload directory is writable by the user/group that showed up in the logs.

getpwuid and getgrgid are unimplemented by ActivePerl for Windows. Instead I used Win32::LoginName and I see my personal user ID. This agrees with several variables found in %ENV such as AUTH_USER LOGON_USER REMOTE_USER except those variables also include the domain name ("DOMAIN\userid"). The USERNAME environment variable is showing as the server name ("MYSERVER$") and I think perhaps this is a remnant of the IIS process before it invoked the CGI module and impersonated the remote user making the request. Maybe there's something else in a Win32 module that I can use to diagnose the situation. For example, I'll use Win32::File to check whether the folder has the readonly attribute set.	[reply]
