CHMOD Windows Server

zAbbo

i`ve got a slight prob,

Trying to add/mod/del from a access DB, website is hosted on an eircom windows server(dont ask)

error i`m getting is :

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.

/test/newsletter/from_form.asp, line 27

Using a DSN-less connection, the locktypes dont make any differnce, the problem is that i can chmod the DB to allow modification.

I can`t make a DSN connection.

Help

is the DB in a read-only directory:-
sometimes the server may have two folders (or more), say private & www - web pages go in www and databases go in private. The private folder would have write permissions.
email me if you need further help.

BTW how do you plan on managing to "fúck me a fish"?

Create a directory behind the root folder (for security reasons.

Allow "change" access to the folder for IUSR_ComputerName.

If its a live server on the web be careful with the access you are giving.

It all works when running locally, as i can edit the permissions at read write.

the eircom web server when logged into the root only has one folder, this containing the webby pages, i`ll try to make a db folder in root and work from there

Thanks for the help so far

You won't be able to change it then. You will have to contact Eircom.

If there is a cgi-bin/scripts folder on the server try popping it in there!
