Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-12 10:15:38] tobias dot burger at rolmail dot net I've set the setting fastcgi.impersonate in php.ini to 1 (like recommendet in the documentation). If I set it to 0 it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-12 09:58:19] pajoye@php.net I use 2008 as well and it works fine. Can you add perms for your user specifically and test again? take #2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-12 09:51:32] tobias dot burger at rolmail dot net detailed system information * Windows Server 2008 * IIS7 with Fast-CGI installed * PHP5.3 ((5.3.0RC3) VC9 non thread safe from http://windows.php.net/qa/ (tried also VC6 and thread safe version) The problem occurs only if executing the script from the web server. I run the same script from the console and it works. The permissions are set correctly (full permissions to everyone), as I can read and modify the file via PHP (running on IIS). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-12 09:29:17] pajoye@php.net I use 2008 as well and it works fine. Can you add perms for your user specifically and test again? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-12 09:25:55] tobias dot burger at rolmail dot net User group EVERYONE has full permissions. Other operations are working on that file: e.g. include_once, file_get_contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
