Access Denied Error

[TenStar]

CN is computer name

set wmiLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set wmiServices = wmiLocator.ConnectServer(CN)

I am receiving a Access Denied Error on the 2nd line above when a user is
trying to access my page. I don't receive the error. I have gone into the
WMI Control and set the permissions for the web server to gave the user
permissions to connect. However, they are still receiving the Access Denied
errors?

Does the permissions need to be set on the local machine?

Replace the wmiLocator.ConnectServer(CN) with the given below:

wmiLocator.ConnectServer(WScript.Arguments(1),"roo t\cimv2",WScript.Arguments(2), WScript.Arguments(3),null,NULL, NULL )

Where WScript.Arguments(1) is <some ipaddress>
WScript.Arguments(2) is <Username Should be memeberof admin group>
WScript.Arguments(3) is the password.

I am using Contribute 3.1. I set up a site to have FTP access. The FTP
connection checks out fine if I test it. I can browse around in Contribute and
edit a page, but when I try to Publish it, it errors out. The error message
says, "Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission
problem"

I am testing this out to verify a client will be able to use it. I have access
to the actual web server and don't need Contribute for what I do - However the
people maintaining the site will have FTP access to it and would like to use
Contribute. To resolve the error, I am not sure what I'm looking for. As I
said, the FTP information is correct. A folder called \TMPn1768kx8p7 was
created on my site but there is nothing in it.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I know what the pattern is -
First off I had to uninstall and reinstall the software in order to get past
the Access Denied error. Obviously that is not going to be a workable solution
but it was a last resort.
If I create a connection and update a page. Publish it using my FTP connection
and everything's fine. The FTP connection is to the live web site and I made a
bogus update to the page.
So I then copied the page back over from the test server, to overwrite the
bogus update I had just published thru Contribute. Bingo, I get the Access
Denied error.

The client will be making changes using Contribute and an FTP connection. I
however will be copying pages over from a test server - How can both of these
live in harmony. Any ideas?

One thing we ran into: when you update and load a page, you become the owner of
it. So, if the other person doesnt have rights to things you own, they cant
update.

The rights and permissions I am talking about have to do with apache's groups
and users... though I imagine the same thing would happen with IIS. We
basically had to have a cron script go through and change the ownership to our
main group, of which everyone is a member, to get this to work.

Just a thought!
