Installation - file permissions on IIS7

[paulcreedy]

I usually use linix based hosting, but for this site I have to use Windows 2008 / IIS7

Joomla 1.7 is installed and the default site working

Trying to upload templates gives me a cannot create directory errors

Tried giving IIS_USRS and Network Service full control to get it working, but still error remains.

Any idea what I've missed in the permissions on the folder?

is permission folder 755 or 777? if it is then you should have to problem. use super user in installing templates.

Hi

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but it's Windows and IIS7 not Linux so there is no CHMOD 575 or 777 etc

Mother of god.... why is this such a convoluted thing to figure out in joomla 1.7? And why is there such rampant confusion with joomla admins as to the difference between running linux and iis?

Sort of having the same problem, but first I need to figure out how to properly set my configuration.php logs and tmp directories after moving it to another dir. Is this correct?

Code: Select all

	public $log_path = 'C:\\Inetpub\\vhosts\\domain.com/httpdocs/logs';
	public $tmp_path = 'C:\\Inetpub\\vhosts\\domain.com/httpdocs/tmp';

	public $tmp_path = 'C:\\Inetpub\\vhosts\\domain.com/httpdocs/tmp';

Above is correct and that is the default if you are doing it in localhost, Intranet and standalone.

but if you are doing on remote or cpanel below is your guide depends on you host.

public $log_path = '/home/yourcpanelname/public_html/logs';
public $tmp_path = '/home/yourcpanelname/public_html/tmp';

or

public $log_path = './logs';
public $tmp_path = './tmp';
