Post subject: DSN Issues With IIS
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
Hello,

I have created an ASP appication that runs on my IIS 5.0 server on Windows 2000 Server. The ASP application accesses a FoxPro database using a DSN that I setup. Everything seems to work fine when I move the FoxPro database is under the root folder (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\). The problem is that when I move the FoxPro database off the web server running IIS onto a different network server and share the directory, I cannot get the application to work. The error says that I cannot open the .dbc file that I need to open in order to access the FoxPro database.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Jamie

The user account that the webpage is running under doesn't have permissions
to the remote resource.

For example, if you are using anonymous authentication, then the default
anonymous user is IUSR_<machinename> which is local to the webserver, and
can't be assigned permissions to remote resources.

You could, for example, change the anonymous user account to a domain
account that has permissions to the remote resource. If everything starts
working, then you know this is your issue.

Cheers
Ken
