Files?

hey. i have a problem with one of my files in ISS.

the files is name your.lua and i want people that visit it are t obe able to view/download contents of this files but ISS just say that the files is not there or that people dont have access to it, why?

It would help if you provided some clues as to how you have IIS setup in relation to the directory in which this file exists.

Does IIS server other files from this same directory?

yes, a few jpg files and a few .txt files

i use mostly standard setup atm since the serer is freshly installed today. only thing i changed so far is the allowed bandwith usage, and setup php and asp.net.

What is a .lua file?

.lua files is made from an addon in world of warcraft. it's uploaded in a matrix witch is built in .php and the matrix reads the .lua files and processes it.

Example: Slacker.lua

If the file is getting processed by php, perhaps the "not found" relates to something the php script is trying to access, not the .lua file itself.

ye. but the problem is noone can download it here is the link

http://rizzler.se/wow/dkp.lua

you will just get *file not found* 404 error, still that is the correct link to the file.

Well, then the file really isn't at that url despite your certainty that the file does exist there, or the file permissions don't allow IIS to read the file, r you have some other error and a bogus custom error page is sending you to a misleading error, or there is something on the server blocking access to .lua files.

Or maybe something else

or the file permissions don't allow IIS to read the file,


how do i give IIS permission to read the file ?

Use windows itself to set the ACL's on the folder and files as required. IIS in anonymous authentication mode normally operates as the IUSR_computername user.
