Hi guys.
I just migrated my message board ( 7.5.9 ) to a new webserver.

All looks good (content displays) but when I go to open the board, I get the message:
Unable to open config.inc.php for writing. Please check permissions on the file.

I moved from Plesk 9.5 on a Windows Server 2005
-to-
Plesk 12 on a Windows Server 2012

BIG jump, pretty amazed all is working so well.
So I need to know what "user" needs what access to the config.inc.php ?

As a test I added "Everyone - Full Access" to that file only to open the board, then removed that liberal access.
After opening the board, posting works, and all is well.

So I'm pretty sure the migration worked, database is ok, etc...
I think what isn't ok is any writable PHP files.
