Hi there,

 

Are you experiencing any trouble caused by this "checkmark"?

 

I'm asking you that, because of the meaning of that checkbox it's quite meaningless.

 

Actually MS says that: "The Read-only attribute causes Windows Explorer to verify whether the folder is a special system folder. If you removed the Read-only attribute, the folder would appear as a typical folder, and all customizations (such as customizations in My Pictures or My Music) would be lost."

 

and also: "The Read-only attribute on a folder is ignored by the file system.... You can still delete, rename, and change a read-only folder in other ways. You can remove or put a check mark in the check box to modify the attributes of the contents of the folder (files but not subfolders), but you cannot change the Read-only attributes of system folders. "

 

Tell me if you need more help :)

thanks for the reply i just thaught there would be some way around this. when users try to upload profile pictures they cant because there is no write permission if i used server 2003 would this work better maybe? p.s im not exactly an expert at these thing im a noob as they would say :rolleyes:

you're not a noob ;)

 

Actually, READ-ONLY it's not preventing users from uploading stuffs on their profile.

 

I never used IP.BOARD, but I'm quite sure there's something wrong with users's permissions. Is there a log where you can check errors / informations?

 

You could post the output of: (from command prompt)

 

icacls YourFolder

 

Cheers

i cant find the error log but in my admin panel it says >>>>>>

 

Minify Disabled

You have Minify switched on in your settings but IP.Board cannot write to /cache/tmp. Please check permissions on that directory. If this message persists, please turn off minify.

 

Your profile photo directory is not writable

Please check the permissions on the profile photo directory 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads/profile/' and make sure that it is writable.

 

thanks.

You must identify the user used by IP.Board when it performs operations.

 

I have no experience with IP.Board, but I assume there's a user associated with it.

 

If you post the result of:

 

icacls C:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads\*

 

I could try to determine your problem.

 

 

Anyway, only the action of upload an image to the profile doesn't work?

by the way am i able to post external links in here or is it not allowed? i ask this because i am trying to host files aswell but my file host script says the same thing about write permissions thanks.

[ICTCity]

You can post external link :)

 

I think there's an executable which performs this operation, check this site for a tutorial on PROCMON which can help you! I don't know which "user" is involved in this process, so use procmon.

[deanspink1986]

hi i have just done a search on PROCMON and no results thanks and http://www.bassline-madness.co.uk/host/ i am having trouble with this aswell if you try upload a file you will see what i mean thanks.

thankyou very much for your help but i have figured it out it was all to do with giving certain users in the security tab when you right click the folder, permissions :thumbsup:

As I said, you had to determine which users can perform that operation ;)
