permission denied error

Hi all, don't know if this is the correct group for this question, but here
goes.

About 6 months ago my company set up a windows 2003 server running IIS6 with
an asp page that calls a wscript.shell run command. The run command executes
a command line executable. Everything used to work fine when we tested the
server.

The asp page is in a folder that has anon access turned off, and only
administrator access allowed so that the pages *should* run under the
context of the logged on admin user.

The page is now failing with a permission denied error. It appears as though
IIS6 cannot make an execute to cmd.exe. I have searched the net and tried
just about everything i could find with no success.

Does anyone have any clues as to what might be going wrong? I have checked
and tried setting permissions on the folder as well as cmd.exe but nothing
seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

paul korosi

RE: permission denied error

Hi,

Please make sure that Web Site’s Executable permission is set to Script and
executables.

Site > Properties > Home directory tab > Executable permissions Drop down.
