Have installed CMS on Windows server and set permissions as indicated in online documentation to writable.

When I rin the admin.php for the first time I get the following text voer the "One Minute Install" page.

Warning: unlink(D:/Plesk/VHOSTS/bcnordic.com/httpdocs/cmsAdmin2/data//temp_48567dd08a3b87.31773378.tmp): Permission denied in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\bcnordic.com\httpdocs\cmsAdmin2\lib\common.php on line 273 Warning: unlink(D:/Plesk/VHOSTS/bcnordic.com/httpdocs/cmsAdmin2/data/schema//temp_48567dd08a6990.17505178.tmp): Permission denied in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\bcnordic.com\httpdocs\cmsAdmin2\lib\common.php on line 273 Warning: unlink(D:/Plesk/VHOSTS/bcnordic.com/httpdocs/cmsAdmin2/data/schemaPresets//temp_48567dd08aa963.58847777.tmp): Permission denied in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\bcnordic.com\httpdocs\cmsAdmin2\lib\common.php on line 273 Warning: unlink(D:/Plesk/VHOSTS/bcnordic.com/httpdocs/cmsAdmin2/uploads//temp_48567dd08b8779.66544773.tmp): Permission denied in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\bcnordic.com\httpdocs\cmsAdmin2\lib\common.php on line 273 Warning: unlink(D:/Plesk/VHOSTS/bcnordic.com/httpdocs/cmsAdmin2/uploads/thumb//temp_48567dd08badd0.38532233.tmp): Permission denied in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\bcnordic.com\httpdocs\cmsAdmin2\lib\common.php on line 273

Hi Mike,

It looks like your web host is configured to allow web apps to create files but not to delete them. Those temp files are created (and deleted) just after install to test if the directories are writable.

You could ask your web host to give permissions to PHP to delete files as well or if you'd like you can send me FTP to dave@interactivetools.com (email, don't post FTP details) and I can write a simple test script that will demonstrate the problem to your host.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

I'm having a similar experience on my first installation on a windows server. After confirming the permissions were set properly I ran admin.php and received the following error message for each of the items that should be "writable"

".../wwwroot/cmsAdmin/data/ (not writable)"

I will contact the host to have them allow deletions. I will let you know if I need your test script to demonstrate the issue to them.

Hi Dave,

Problem solved! Knowing it was a deletion made really easy for the host to change the settings.
