villermen Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Ok, I'm trying to use this script: if (file_exists("D:/website/account/leden/" . $name_old)) rename("D:/website/account/leden/" . $name_old,"D:/website/account/leden/" . $name_new); To rename a certain directory.The links used are all valid, and I'm running PHP on a computer with admin rights.Still I get this error message:PHP Warning: rename(D:/website/account/leden/oldname,D:/website/account/leden/newname) [function.rename]: Permission denied in ...fileWhat's going wrong here, and how can I fix this.Thanks.VillermenSOLUTION:Some map setting for windows explorer was checked where it should be unchecked.Help for this can be found here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Whatever user PHP is running under needs write access to the folder. If your server is IIS, the user account that PHP will run under is called IUSR_<machine name>. That user account needs write access to those folders.

villermen Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Can you give me any info on where i can grant it that acces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Depending on which version of Windows you're using, you need to right-click on the folder and choose either Properties or Security. Check for a security area where you can say which user accounts have which privileges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villermen Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ok, now I got two options, I can change the properties in the folder at explorer, or at IIS.I think you meant the one in explorer, so I'm trying to say what I try to do:On the map before the map I want to change (D:\website\account\leden), I checked his properties.Then I click the tab "Delen via het web" (something like share over the web in english), and in that tab is something from IIS (so I think I'm at the right place).Here I can choose to share the map, with an alias. I'm stuck here, what do I need to fill in here?Gr.VillermenAnd already thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 You don't want to share the folder, sharing and security are two separate parts. You want the security part, not the sharing part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villermen Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I can't find any tab with security in the name, but in the tab named sharing, there are 2 sections named sharing and security. One sharing and security: local, and the other sharing and security: the network.I've translated all those names myself, so it could be named a bit different in XP EN.

justsomeguy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I see a tab in the Properties box called Security. It has a list of user accounts with a list of checkbox permissions below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'm not sure I need help, but you can post the picture if you want me to tell you if that's similar to what I see.

villermen Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hmm, the first result: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/netw... That form looks familiar to me, but I haven't seen that on my computer yet... I'm trying to find it now using that tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villermen Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 It seems I got to make an admin+user account on my computer and set up a network share.I that's the case, I'm not gonna make all that, and just let the people link to files they uploaded somewhere else.Can someone confirm my thoughts?

justsomeguy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 You do need to be an admin to set permissions, you don't need a network share though. You're just trying to give ASP access to the local files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villermen Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 That would be PHP, but I'm really lost now.I've got 1 account on this computer, that is an admin.If I want to create a user account, I have to make another admin account first.That's for the accounts.I really don't know what to do next.I saw this security tab in the tutorial, but when I did the exact same thing to show it, it wouldn't show..So I'm lost...

thescientist Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 if you only have one account on the computer, it should already be an admin account. Also, by using IIS, aren't you "forced" to use ASP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Sorry, I forgot which forum I'm in, most of time time I set permissions for IIS it's because of ASP. Same rules for PHP though. If you're not seeing the permissions panel it sounds like you're not an admin, if you were an admin that permissions page should be showing up in the properties for the folder. I've never had to create a new user account for this though, I guess these are the steps I take:Log in as adminRight-click the folder, choose PropertiesClick Security tabAdd the IIS user to the list of users with permissionGive the IIS user modify or full control over the folderThe IIS user account already exists, you don't have to create that. Just out of curiosity, which version of XP are you doing this with? Also, I noticed that I never actually asked if you're using IIS, are you using that or do you have Apache or something else?

Synook Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Also, by using IIS, aren't you "forced" to use ASP?You can run PHP under IIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 You can run PHP under IIS.good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villermen Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Well, I know my current and only account is an admin account.I even created another admin account to test if it worked there, same problem. The IIS user account already exists, you don't have to create that. Just out of curiosity, which version of XP are you doing this with? Also, I noticed that I never actually asked if you're using IIS, are you using that or do you have Apache or something else?Uhm, I'm using XP SP3, and yes, I'm using IIS (v5.1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villermen Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Now the images of the properties, I tried to translate them.Left is the properties for a map, and right the properties from a file:The pictures will be offline as soon as I turn my computer off, so they might not be visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'm not sure if you're right-clicking inside IIS, but don't go through IIS, just open Windows Explorer and right-click on the directory there. IIS has its own set of properties for directories, you want to access the regular Windows properties. The screen you showed isn't the one you're looking for, you don't want to share this directory, only set the security for it.Check here:http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&...-8&oe=utf-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
