When a user tries to post, receives error:
"Permission problem writing new file in BanList Dir Permission denied"
When trying to post as a moderator, the error reads:
"Unable to open LastTime.file in Forum9 : Permission denied "

Used to be able to post.

/BanLists folder exists

Don't understand how to set permissions to 777. Not Unix. Windows NT?

Please help.
Thanks,

You definately have a permissions problem. 777 permissions are UNIX, not NT, you are correct.

In most cases you cannot set the directory and file permissions remotely on NT. You will have to address your server adminstrator to this page and ask them to make the adjustments.

This question apply to NT 4.0 with IIS 4. I am still getting the BanList Permission Denied Error when I have the permission set as "Change" for the IUSR_Computername (internet Guest Internet Server Anonymous Access) account for all my ubb directories which inclues the member directory, variable_files directory, and ubb directory which is where my Banlist and forums are located. The highest directory which holds all these directories has the "Change" permission apply to the IUSR_Computername (internet Guest Internet Server Anonymous) account also. What else Can I do to not get this error.

Furthermore, I have the same UBB set up on another test NT Server, with the exact setting and it work fine. I was able to post message to the Board from other computers on our LAN beside my own computer. However, on the production NT server, I can only post to the Board with my machine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
