SIP and ASP.Net

Question:

I have ASP.Net installed on the server. I ran the test file and it confirmed that everything is ok.

But when I use the ASP.Net component, the image is uploaded, but without resizing the image and no thumbnail is created. I tried the component that comes with SIP and it works fine.

I checked the security and permission of IUSRXXXX, and there is read, write, execute and modify permission.

Answer:

ASP.Net runs with a different user then classic ASP. Classic ASP uses the user IUSR_xxx, for ASP.Net a new user called ASPNET (IIS_WPG in Windows 2003) has been created. You should give this user full access to the image folder.

When Your server is configured as a domain server then the ASPNET user is not available, you have to use the IWAM_xxx instead for ASP.Net 1.1 or later. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315158/ for more information.

In addition you can secure your folder from executing uploaded scripts by disabling Execute rights from within IIS.

What do I do for the server?

January 31, 2003 by Adam Bradley

How do I get ASP.NET to work for my server. I have the same problem that the question describes on my server, not my local computer.

I don't get any errors, just that it doesn't create a thumbnail or resize the picture. The one componet on my server that will work is ASP.NET. Do I have to send an email to my hosting company (experthost.com) so they can set the full access to the images folder?

Permission there already

The script is working perfectly on my local machine, but does not seem to work on the ISP remote machine. I did contact my ISP and they say that they have applied the permissions?!

Is there another reason this could not be working?

Thanks, Rian
