Error 5 'Access Denied'

[jazzyone]

Hi all,

I am not certain if this error is a CF error or not. We are trying to upload a file via a CFM interface. We get the following error:

Error processing CFFILE
Error attempting to save uploaded file to path....
Access is denied. (error 5)

It does not seem like it is an NTFS permission or an IIS permission. Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Thanks!

actually,
It is almost undoubtedly ntfs permissions.
the user who will be uploading files must have write permission in that folder.
if this is anonymous, there is still a user assigned to the anonymous browser
(usually iusr_servername in iis). also, the iis security has to be set up correctly.
Either anonymous access, or authenticated access not both.

I would check to see what account CF is set to run under. If it's not running under a specific username, I believe it will use the system account but I'm not positive. I think you will find that the CF service doesn't have write permission to the folder in question.

Unfortunately, these are not the problems. The CF account has full control, the IUSR account has change permissions. We have only ALLOW ANONYMOUS access checked.

The only other thing I can add is that we are clustering. But, permissions are identical on both servers.

One other thing I did notice is that the process works fine on other directories - it's just one that is causing the problem.
