write issues with asp, IIS 5.1 on XP Pro

Hello,

I have searched for help woith this, but the results have not been of help.

I have some pages that are served from my PC running XP pro and IIS 5.1. One of the pages has a for for user input, the results of which I would like to have saved to a text file or DB.

I have tried some ASP script that has worked in other environments to write the form results to a txt file. the result is that either IIS hangs, with the "too many connections" error, or the form appears to be submitted properly, but nothing is written to the file.

I have also installed the frontpage server extensions, to try using FP form submission bots to send the results to the DB. This also provided an appearance of a successful form submission, but again, nothign actually gets written.

I have went in to the property sheets in IIS for the particular directory that the page and target file are located in, and have enabled scripts as well as write access.

This also produces no improvement in results.

What else can i do to ge tthis working?? Any suggestions?

Sounds like the IIS user account doesn't have permissions set right.

First, turn off any firewall and antivirus script blocking software during testing.

Check the windows permissions using windows explorer and make sure the IIS user account has the proper permissions to the folders you are using.

If you weren't a computer admin user when you installed IIS, uninstall IIS and reinstall as admin.

There is a permissions wizard in the IIS MMC, you might try that.
