write/create new file using IIS, XP Pro

[BB]

Hey all,
This is driving me nuts. Works great with apache on same xp pro box, but I
can't get it to work on IIS

$handle = fopen("file.txt", "wb");

In IIS admin I gave write rights to the whole folder. I tried full path
name (c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\file.txt)
any ideas?
In explorer, the folder is shown as read only. I take that off, apply, and
reopen the properties again and it's back to read only. Could that be it?
how do I change that?

here's the error message

Warning: fopen(file.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream:
Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bookmarks\testwrite.php on line 27

thanks in advance,
brian

Have you set NT permissions on the file to allow IUSR_*yourservername*
full access?
Right-click the file, select properties -> security, if the IUSR_ is
not there then add it & give complete control
