Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'

Hi:

I got this error msg when I open my webpage index.asp:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied
/index.asp, line 29

This error point to this line of code

fp = Server.MapPath("aspcount.txt&quot
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set a = fs.OpenTextFile(fp)
ct = Clng(a.ReadLine)
if Session("ct&quot = "" then
Session("ct&quot = ct
ct = ct + 1
a.close
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(fp, True) <------------error here
a.WriteLine(ct)
end if
a.Close

this is in Unix environment. I chmod aspcount.txt file to 777.
So I don't know get this error.

Thanks lots for help

It sounds like a permission problem. I am not sure how it would work in UNIX, but NT would generate that error if the user that the web service is using to interact with the server doesn't have permission to write to or modify objects in that directory.

That would be where I would start.

It just work ok on window, but when load up to unix os, then the error occurs.

I think you may find that the chmod needs to be 577 or 775. Its a long time since I worked with unix but I do remember that all 7's usually caused a problem. Experiment anyway. ASCII silly question, get a silly ANSI

This happened to me when I was doing createtextfile.
I hadn't set write permissions for the database, so therefore no files could be created.
and also if you're dealing with subfolders, make sure all the folders and parent folders have the write permissions set as well.
hope this helps
