From: Neil Gould on 22 Feb 2010 15:49 We recently moved a classic ASP-based website to a new hosting service running 2003 server and IIS6. For some reason, the .AddAttachment attribute that has run for years on other servers fails with an unknown error. * Is there some way of polling IIS via classic ASP to determine what attributes are supported? * Are there specific settings in IIS6 to enable/disable this capability? Thanks, Neil

An unknown error isn't going to be easy for anyone to diagnose, but as a first guess I'd suggest the account running the World Wide Web Publishing Service doesn't have sufficient rights to read the file for the attachment.

It seems like a place to start looking. Is there a setting in IIS6 to provide such rights to the account? -- Best, Neil

You can right-click the folder in IIS Manager (or Windows Explorer) and manipulate the permissions there or at a command prompt with, e.g. icacls. An easy way to see which account is trying to access the file is by using Process Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx and filtering it for the file name you're having trouble with. I don't know which account would be used for ASP (ASP.NET uses "Application Pools" which can have their own accounts). Be careful not to give excessive rights to anything like the Windows directory; it may be better to have a directory dedicated for the attachments. HTH, Andrew |
