Server Busy?!? Can't Post
Hi All,

just trying to set up our development server for our client on our shiny new windows 2000 server. I'm new to the system and for some reason I'm getting the Server Busy message and when I wait a while and try again I get the file lock message. The server definately isn't busy as this I'm the only user!

I'm new to windows 2000 and think I have a permissions /security settings problem - I've set the 2 folders /artman/*all the scripts

and /artman/*all the uploads to read + write execute (In both the filesystem and in the IIS console) although I don't know how to associate it with a particular user. Is there anything else I'm missing? Do I have to make a user account specifically for perl?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Graham

Hi Graham,

Make sure the directories in question (and the files in them) have read, write, modify permissions for the user perl runs as. By default perl runs as "IUSR_machinename" where machinename is the name of your server.

You don't want to enable write access under the IIS console because that does something else (I think it allows users to upload files through their browser with HTTP PUT), you don't want that.

Here's a link to a page in the online docs with more info:

Hope that helps!
