Giving writing permissions for IIS user at Windows 2003 Server
- by Steve
I am running a website over Windows 2003 Server and IIS6 and I am having problems to write or delete files in some temporary folder obtaining this kind of warmings:
Warning: unlink(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cakephp\app\tmp\cache\persistent\myapp_cake_core_cake_): Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cakephp\lib\Cake\Cache\Engine\FileEngine.php on line 254
I went to the tmp directory and at the properties I gave the IIS User the following permissions:
Read & Execute
List folder Contents
Read
And it still showing the same warnings.
When I am on the properties window, if I click on Advanced the IIS username appears twice.
One with Allow type and read & execute permissions and the other with Deny type and Special permissions.
My question is:
Should I give this user not only the Read & Execute permissions but also this ones?:
Create Attributes
Create Files/ Write Data
Create Folders/ Append Data
Delete Subfolders and Files
Delete
They are available to select if I Click on the edit button over the username.
Wouldn't I be opening a security hole if I do this?
Otherwise, how can I do to read and delete the files my website uses?
Thanks.
