Hey everyone,

Problem :

When a user attempts to access their log folder of a domain which uses MSFTP as the FTP server they receive an access denied error message.

CAUSE :

MSFTP uses Windows NT users for user permissions. It is the permissions provided to the NT user that allow or restrict access to the Windows file system. For a user to be able to access a folder NT FTP account needs the appropriate permissions. By default this account is domain.com

However a new security “enhancement” of Windows 2003 is to remove inheritance for log folders such as W3SVC folders. As this folder is created without inheritance the domain.com NT user is not given the correct permissions on this folder, thereby restricting access via FTP.

RESOLUTION :

The server administrator can add the relevant permissions to the W3SVC folder however IIS may revert the permissions to as they were previously whenever a new log file is created.

The other solution is to use a non NT reliant FTP server such as Gene6 or Serv-U (Both of which are supported by HELM).

Hey everyone,

There are times when it is necessary to host a domain on a dedicated IP. This could becuase you want to install an SSL certificate or becuase of the sites requirements. Either way it is possible to set the site to be hosted on a dedicated IP from within the Helm interface.

Firstly you will need a spare IP address hosting nothing else. This IP will need to be already set-up on your server. You will now need to log in to Helm as the Admin. From the main menu select

System Settings > IP Address Manager

You will now be presented with a list of IP’s and servers already set-up in Helm. Click the Add New button to add a new IP address. You will now see the following :

In the External IP Address enter the IP address you will be using for the dedicated website. Leave the last box (after the to) blank. This is used for entering a sequence of IP addresses. Only enter an IP address in the Internal IP Address if you are hosting with a NAT system and all your external IP’s are translated to internal IP’s. Select the Server the website is hosted on that requires the dedicated IP from the drop down menu. Click Save.

Once added click in the IP Management link at the top of the screen below the header.You will now be presented with a list of IP’s already in Helm, this time containing the IP address you have just added. Click on the IP address you have just added in the list, you will now see something similiar to the following :

Check the box Static IP Address box and click Save

You have now made this IP address available for use as a dedicated IP. You can add many more IP’s leaving them unassigned in Helm for future use as dedicated IP’s of you want.

Now we have to change the website in question to a dedicated IP. In the Domains Search box in the left hand pane enter the domain name you want to host on a dedicated IP. Helm will search and then display this domain (the domain must already exist in Helm). You will now be able to see all the icons available for managing this domain. Click the Web Site Settings icon. You will now see something like this

The drop down menu Change To will conatin a list of IP addresses that you have set to Static IP Address in the IP Management section. Simply select the IP address you want to use and then hit Save. The domain is now using a Static IP.

NOTES

There are some important points to note with the way Helm has created the site on the static IP. Helm makes the relevant DNS entry changes. It also adds the dedicated IP to the sites Host Headers. However the old host headers with the shared IP will remain. This is becuase it can take some DNS servers many hours to update their records therefore requests will still be sent to the shared IP. Helm does it like this to prevent the domain from being unavailable while the static IP propogates.

Hi Friends,

qmail is an alternative to sendmail. Plesk servers use qmail, and it may be installed on other Linux systems as well. Here are some tips and other general information on how to use and maintain qmail.

• The author of qmail, D. J. Bernstein, has a web page at http://cr.yp.to . Links are provided here to software Bernstein has written, including qmail, djbdns (an alternative to BIND), daemontools (programs for supervising persistent processes such as network daemons), and ucspi-tcp (an alternative to inetd and xinetd).




• The most-accepted method of installing and running qmail is defined by “Life with qmail”, or LWQ. Visit http://www.lifewithqmail.org for more details. Plesk generally has its own way of installing qmail, but LWQ will still be an excellent reference even for troubleshooting qmail on Plesk servers.




• Other qmail tips and tools are available at http://www.qmail.org/top.html . Also provided here are links to searchable archives of the qmail mailing list.




• To see how many messages are currently in the queue, use /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat (/usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat on Plesk 2.5 servers).




• For more detailed information about the messages currently in the queue, use /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread (/usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/qmail-qread on Plesk 2.5 servers). This command is similar to the sendmail mailq command.




• qmail’s configuration files are kept in /var/qmail/control (or /usr/local/psa/qmail/control). Together these files are equivalent to the sendmail.cf file (but much easier to read IMNSHO). LWQ provides an explanation of what each of these files is for, and so does “man qmail-control”. You may need to add the qmail man directory to the MANPATH environment variable for this man page to be found; if so, the directory is usually /var/qmail/man.




• The qmail queue directory is typically /var/qmail/queue (or /usr/local/psa/qmail/queue). Do NOT manipulate the files in this directory UNLESS you know exactly what you are doing, and UNLESS qmail is not running! Otherwise, you WILL break the queue! There are several programs listed at qmail.org designed to allow safe manipulation of the queue. In particular, Charles Cazabon, the author of memtester, has also written a qmail queue repair program, available at http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/queue_repair/ .




• Cazabon’s queuerepair program is particularly handy for wiping out qmail queues of servers being abused by spammers (usually courtesy of Plesk’s “open relay” option). The general steps are: stop qmail, move or delete the queue directory, run queuerepair with the appropriate options, then restart qmail. On Plesk 5 and 6 servers, the queue directory is /var/qmail/queue and qmailrepair should be run like so: “qmailrepair.py -c -s 23 -b”. For other servers, the queue directory will most likely be /var/qmail/queue (/usr/local/psa/qmail/queue for Plesk 2.5 servers), and qmailrepair will be run as either “qmailrepair.py -c -s XX -b /path/to/queue” or “qmail_repair.py -c -s XX -n /path/to/queue”. XX is the number of subdirectories within the queue’s info and mess directories; the “-b” option is used if there are subdirectories within the queue’s todo directory, and the “-n” option is used otherwise; “/path/to/queue” is optional if the queue directory is /var/qmail/queue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You could run qmail-clean but that takes a long while.

Here is a quick and easy way to clear all email from the queue.
This will not remove anything it should not remove. It just clears
all email from the queue safely. This is just for qmail.
( Not for use with any other email programs )

1) login to your server via ssh
2) su – 3) wget http://wepraisehim.org/qmailclear.sh
5) sh qmailclear.sh
6) done.

Just a quick note about “Internal Server Error” problems after upgrading Apache on these Plesk machines.

You may start getting the “500 Internal Server Error” errors after doing so, and that is because the upgraded Apache has overwritten the Plesk version of “suexec”, a handy little program that allows the webserver to run CGI-BIN programs.

However, you are in luck! Plesk keeps a copy of their modified version of “suexec” around on the box.

How-To restore suexec:

1. log in as the ‘root’ user on yer box.

2. cd /usr/sbin

3. mv suexec suexec.old (or whatever you want to call it)

4. cp psa-suexec suexec

Technical Jazz:

The problem is that Apache’s stock version of suexec doesn’t allow (for safety reasons) cgi-bin programs to be execute from any but underneath the MAIN Apache document root. Which, in the case of these Plesk servers is /var/www… since all the virtually hosted addresses live under /home/httpd/vhosts…, the stock Apache suexec doesn’t allow that. Modifying suexec is something of a hobby in the unix web administration world, so this isn’t entirely odd.

BTW, you can also check the /var/log/suexec.log to see what is being suexec’ed, and what errors are happening. The error you’ll see in this case is “command not in docroot”.

Hey everyone,

The most common problem encountered when configuring MySQL with Helm is that you think all has gone well and then the database creation fails. 99% of the time this is because the root user is set-up to allow local access only “root@localhost” whereas it should allow global connections, therefore be set-up as”root@%”

What follows is a step by step guide to getting MySQL installed and the relevant settings in place to work with Helm.

First of all download and install MySQL for windows from here. Once downloaded you will need to unzip the file and launch set-up. Typical install is fine for what we need. Next you need to install the MyODBC drivers. HELM supports 2.5 and 3.51 version of the MyODBC drivers. However for MySQL 4.1 you must use 3.51 drivers. In addition there have been some rogue 3.51 drivers in circulation. We suggest downloading and installing the drivers located here

When both of the above have been installed we now need to configure MySQL.

First of all we need an options file. This is a file that gives MySQL information about how it is to run. The option file allows great control over MySQL however you need the following as a bear minimum to get MySQL working.

Launch NotePad enter the following:

[mysqld]

1. set basedir to your installation path
   
   basedir=C:/mysql
   
2. set datadir to the location of your data directory
   
   datadir=C:/mysql/data
   
   

   Note the slashes are opposite to normal and this is intentional. The basedir is the directory you installed MySQL and the datadir is where you want the actual databases to be stored, this could be on a different drive or location if you wish.

   
   

   Save this file as my.ini in the C:WINDOWS directory. That is all we need to do for now but more information on the option file can be found here.

   
   

   Now on the server you need to launch your command line utility. This is normally done via Start > Run then type cmd and hit enter.

   
   

   I will assume that MySQL has been installed using the default path. If not you will have to amend the commands as appropriate.

   
   

   At the command prompt type

   
   

   cd C:mysqlbin

   
   

   This will change the current directory to the MySQL directory (assuming you have installed MySQL in the default location)

   
   

   First we need to ensure that MySQL is not running in the desktop session which can sometimes happen. At the command prompt type

   
   

   C:mysqlbinmysqladmin -u root shutdown

   
   

   If you receive an error about being unable to connect then this is fine as it means MySQL was not running.

   
   

   Now we need to install MySQL as a Windows Service so it can run while logged out of the server. To do this we need to type the following at the command prompt.

   
   

   C:mysqlbinmysqld—install mysql—defaults-file=C:windowsmy.ini

   
   

   This creates a Windows Service which when running will use the details provided in the my.ini file we created. More details on installing MySQL as a service can be found here.

   
   

   Next we need to start the MySQL service. At the command prompt type

   
   

   net start mysql

   
   

   MySQL is now running on the server. However we need to make a number of changes to the users that are setup by default, as in its present state both anonymous users and root users have no passwords allowing anyone to gain access.

   
   

   First we need to connect to the MySQL database, this is done again via the command prompt. At the command prompt type

   
   

   mysql -u root

   
   

   *Add -p at the end if you have already specified a root user password press enter and then type your password.

   
   

   You will now be connected to the MySQL server. Lets start by adding a new root user which allows connections from any host (required for Helm to function). At the command prompt type the following replacing password with the password you want to set for the root account.

   
   

   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘root’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’ WITH GRANT OPTION;

   
   

   To learn more about adding users in MySQL via the command prompt go here

   
   

   Now we need to make our server a little safer by removing all the anonymous accounts and root users with no password. Still at the command prompt type the following.

   
   

   NOTE: The first line is using two single quotes next to each other not a double quote. Press enter at the end of each line.

   
   

   DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User = ‘’;
   
   DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User=’root’ AND Host’%’;
   
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

   
   

   Next simply Type Exit and you will be logged out. MySQL is now configured with just one user root@% and the password you have set.

   
   

   Now we need to tell HELM about MySQL. Log in to HELM and go to System Settings > Servers > Servername then click Add New

   
   

   You will now be at the Add Service screen. Here you can select the Service Type and provide a Friendly Name for the service.

   
   

   

   
   

   Next we need to provide the MySQL connection information in the screen below

   
   

   
   
   For the Admin Username and Admin Password you must supply the root password as set earlier in this article. The Server IP Address is the IP address that MySQL is to run on. The Server Port should be left as default unless you have changed the MySQL port settings. For the ODBC Driver Version select 3.51 (unless you are running an old version of MySQL with the 2.5 drivers). The Maximum Databases is used when you want to balance MySQL across multiple servers. This allows you to tell HELM if you only want this server to host a maximum number of databases.

   
   

   Clicking Next will create the actual service.

   
   

   That’s all

   
   

   Best Regards,

Hey everyone,

Here are steps on how to install PHP 4.4.1 – again, this is only if client has Helm or doesn’t have a control panel.

Login to VPS and browse to http://www.php.net/downloads.php. Make sure to download PHP 4.4.1 zip package [8,082Kb] – 31 Oct 2005 and NOT the installer.

Then browse to http://www.caraveo.com/fastcgi/ and dowload ISAPI/NSAPI binaries (11/03/2002).

Extract php4.4.1 archive into C:PHP and then “php4ts.dll” (not cut/paste, just copy) to C:WindowsSystem32

Unzip the FastCGI binary and copy isapi_fcgi.dll into C:PHP

Then we need to add PATH for PHP, right-click My Computer, choose Properties – Advanced tab – Environment Variables – and double-click the Path variable in the list of System variables.

At the end of the string add this:

;C:PHP

IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE AFTER C:PHP DO NOT PUT THE ; IN FRONT OF C:PHP – IT CAN NOT LOOK AS ;;C:PHP

This is to configure PHP to work as ISAPI: (to have it as cgi, scroll down)

Open IIS, expand local computer and click on ‘Web Service Extensions’. Click on ‘Add a new Web service extension…’ and for the name type in: PHP ISAPI Extensions, click ‘Add…’ button and select isapi_fcgi.dll in C:PHP. Check ‘Set extension status to Allowed’ and click OK.

Now add .php extension: right-click on ‘Web Sites’ in IIS, then choose Properties and click on Home Directory tab. Click ‘Configuration’, Mappings, click ‘Add’. Browse to isapi_fcgi.dll in C:PHP, click OK, and enter “.php” (without quotes) in the ‘Extension field’. Select ‘Limit to’ button and enter: GET,POST,HEAD

Ok ok ok ok. Right-click on Websites again and choose Properties and then Home directory. Change the “Execute permissions” dropdown to “Scripts only”. Also make sure that the ‘Read’ is checked in permissions you’ll see above. Click OK and select all sites and click ok.

Open the registry (regedit) and do the following:

Locate and expand “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”, right-click on “Software” and select “New”, “Key” and type “FASTCGI”.

Right-click on your new “FASTCGI” key and select “New, “Key” and type “.php”.

Right-click on “.php”, select “New”, “String Value” and type “AppPath”. Double-click on this new value and type “c:PHPphp.exe”.

Right-click on “.php”, select “New”, “String Value” and type “BindPath”. Double-click on this new value and type “php-fcgi”.

Rename C:PHPphp.ini-recommended to php.ini and move to C:Windows

Then open php.ini and locate extension_dir. Make it like this:

extension_dir = “C:PHPextensions”

Save and restart IIS.



This is to configure PHP to work as CGI:

Open IIS, expand local computer and click on ‘Web Service Extensions’. Click on ‘Add a new Web service extension…’ and for the name type in: PHP CGI Extensions, click ‘Add…’ button and select php.exe in C:PHP. Check ‘Set extension status to Allowed’ and click OK.

Now add .php extension: right-click on ‘Web Sites’ in IIS, then choose Properties and click on Home Directory tab. Click ‘Configuration’, Mappings, click ‘Add’. Browse to php.exe in C:PHP, click OK, and enter “.php” (without quotes) in the ‘Extension field’. Select ‘Limit to’ button and enter: GET,POST,HEAD

Ok ok ok ok. Right-click on Websites again and choose Properties and then Home directory. Change the “Execute permissions” dropdown to “Scripts only”. Also make sure that the ‘Read’ is checked in permissions you’ll see above. Click OK and select all sites and click ok.

Open the registry (regedit) and do the following:

Locate and expand “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”, right-click on “Software” and select “New”, “Key” and type “FASTCGI”.

Right-click on your new “FASTCGI” key and select “New, “Key” and type “.php”.

Right-click on “.php”, select “New”, “String Value” and type “AppPath”. Double-click on this new value and type “c:PHPphp.exe”.

Right-click on “.php”, select “New”, “String Value” and type “BindPath”. Double-click on this new value and type “php-fcgi”.

Rename C:PHPphp.ini-recommended to php.ini and move to C:Windows

Then open php.ini and locate extension_dir. Make it like this:

extension_dir = “C:PHPextensions”

MAKE SURE THAT YOU DISABLE FORCE REDIRECT, OTHERWISE CGI WON’T WORK. To do so, find cgi.force_redirect and make it look like this:

cgi.force_redirect = 0

Save and restart IIS.

Create under c:Inetpubwwwroot and load it in IE like http://localhost/test.php for example. It should work.

Hello,

Please refer the following steps to install PHP 5.0 if customer has HELM or doesn’t have control panel at all.

Download zip package (NOT the installer): http://www.php.net/get/php-5.0.5-Wi…p/from/a/mirror

Download PECL modules for PHP 5.05: http://www.php.net/get/pecl-5.0.5-W…p/from/a/mirror (more extensions)

Unzip php-5.0.5-Win32.zip and place it in C:PHP (it’s very important that you place it here due to php.ini).

Unzip pecl-5.0.5-Win32.zip and put it in C:PHPext

Go to C:PHP and create a new text file. Then save the attached file and rename it to php.ini.

Then we need to add PATH for PHP, right-click My Computer, choose Properties – Advanced tab – Environment Variables – and double-click the Path variable in the list of System variables.

At the end of the string add this:

;C:PHP

Click ok ok ok ok and reboot the server..

Then create a txt file on Desktop and paste this into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREPHP]
“IniFilePath”=”C:PHP”

then rename the file to inifilepath.reg, double-click it and click yes. Now it’s added in Registry.

That part is configured, now you only need to set it in IIS:

Open it, expand local computer and click on ‘Web Service Extensions’. Click on ‘Add a new Web service extension…’ and for the name type in: PHP ISAPI Extensions, click ‘Add…’ button and select php5isapi.dll in C:PHP. Check ‘Set extension status to Allowed’ and click OK.

Now add .php extension: right-click on ‘Web Sites’ in IIS, then choose Properties and click on Home Directory tab. Click ‘Configuration’, Mappings, click ‘Add’. Browse to php5isapi.dll in C:PHP, click OK, and enter “.php” (without quotes) in the ‘Extension field’. Select ‘Limit to’ button and enter: GET,POST,HEAD

Ok ok ok ok. Right-click on Websites again and choose Properties and then Home directory. Change the “Execute permissions” dropdown to “Scripts only”. Also make sure that the ‘Read’ is checked in permissions you’ll see above. Click OK and select all sites and click ok.

Restart IIS and test if everything is working properly. Under some site, create a txt file and add:

Rename it to test.php and load it from your browser. If it’s showing PHP info, then it’s good.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About php.ini ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This file controls many aspects of PHP’s behavior. In order for PHP to
; read it, it must be named ‘php.ini’. PHP looks for it in the current
; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory. The
; path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using
; the -c argument in command line mode.
;

; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future.
;

; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
; directive = value
; Directive names are case sensitive – foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
;

; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. EALL or MPI), one
; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
; (e.g. EALL & ~ENOTICE), or a quoted string (“foo”).
;

; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
; | bitwise OR
; & bitwise AND
; ~ bitwise NOT
; ! boolean NOT
;

; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
;

; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
; sign, or by using the None keyword:
;

; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string
; foo = “none” ; sets foo to the string ‘none’
;

; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
; you may only use these constants after the line that loads the extension.
;

;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About this file ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This is the recommended, PHP 5-style version of the php.ini-dist file. It
; sets some non standard settings, that make PHP more efficient, more secure,
; and encourage cleaner coding.
;

; The price is that with these settings, PHP may be incompatible with some
; applications, and sometimes, more difficult to develop with. Using this
; file is warmly recommended for production sites. As all of the changes from
; the standard settings are thoroughly documented, you can go over each one,
; and decide whether you want to use it or not.
;

; For general information about the php.ini file, please consult the php.ini-dist
; file, included in your PHP distribution.
;

; This file is different from the php.ini-dist file in the fact that it features
; different values for several directives, in order to improve performance, while
; possibly breaking compatibility with the standard out-of-the-box behavior of
; PHP. Please make sure you read what’s different, and modify your scripts
; accordingly, if you decide to use this file instead.
;

; – registerglobals = Off [Security, Performance]
; Global variables are no longer registered for input data (POST, GET, cookies,
; environment and other server variables). Instead of using $foo, you must use
; you can use $REQUEST[“foo”] (includes any variable that arrives through the
; request, namely, POST, GET and cookie variables), or use one of the specific
; $GET[“foo”], $POST[“foo”], $COOKIE[“foo”] or $FILES[“foo”], depending
; on where the input originates. Also, you can look at the
; importrequestvariables() function.
; Note that registerglobals is going to be depracated (i.e., turned off by
; default) in the next version of PHP, because it often leads to security bugs.
; Read http://php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php for further
; information.
; – registerlongarrays = Off [Performance]
; Disables registration of the older (and deprecated) long predefined array
; variables ($HTTP*VARS). Instead, use the superglobals that were
; introduced in PHP 4.1.0
; – displayerrors = Off [Security]
; With this directive set to off, errors that occur during the execution of
; scripts will no longer be displayed as a part of the script output, and thus,
; will no longer be exposed to remote users. With some errors, the error message
; content may expose information about your script, web server, or database
; server that may be exploitable for hacking. Production sites should have this
; directive set to off.
; – logerrors = On [Security]
; This directive complements the above one. Any errors that occur during the
; execution of your script will be logged (typically, to your server’s error log,
; but can be configured in several ways). Along with setting displayerrors to off,
; this setup gives you the ability to fully understand what may have gone wrong,
; without exposing any sensitive information to remote users.
; – outputbuffering = 4096 [Performance]
; Set a 4KB output buffer. Enabling output buffering typically results in less
; writes, and sometimes less packets sent on the wire, which can often lead to
; better performance. The gain this directive actually yields greatly depends
; on which Web server you’re working with, and what kind of scripts you’re using.
; – registerargcargv = Off [Performance]
; Disables registration of the somewhat redundant $argv and $argc global
; variables.
; – magicquotesgpc = Off [Performance]
; Input data is no longer escaped with slashes so that it can be sent into
; SQL databases without further manipulation. Instead, you should use the
; function addslashes() on each input element you wish to send to a database.
; – variablesorder = “GPCS” [Performance]
; The environment variables are not hashed into the $ENV. To access
; environment variables, you can use getenv() instead.
; – errorreporting = EALL [Code Cleanliness, Security(?)]
; By default, PHP surpresses errors of type ENOTICE. These error messages
; are emitted for non-critical errors, but that could be a symptom of a bigger
; problem. Most notably, this will cause error messages about the use
; of uninitialized variables to be displayed.
; – allowcalltimepassreference = Off [Code cleanliness]
; It’s not possible to decide to force a variable to be passed by reference
; when calling a function. The PHP 4 style to do this is by making the
; function require the relevant argument by reference.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Language Options ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache.
engine = On

; Enable compatibility mode with Zend Engine 1 (PHP 4.x)
zend.ze1compatibilitymode = Off

; Allow the tags are recognized.
; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or
; libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP

=========================================

Hey everyone,

Problem :

When a user attempts to access their log folder of a domain which uses MSFTP as the FTP server they receive an access denied error message.

CAUSE :

MSFTP uses Windows NT users for user permissions. It is the permissions provided to the NT user that allow or restrict access to the Windows file system. For a user to be able to access a folder NT FTP account needs the appropriate permissions. By default this account is domain.com

However a new security “enhancement” of Windows 2003 is to remove inheritance for log folders such as W3SVC folders. As this folder is created without inheritance the domain.com NT user is not given the correct permissions on this folder, thereby restricting access via FTP.

RESOLUTION :

The server administrator can add the relevant permissions to the W3SVC folder however IIS may revert the permissions to as they were previously whenever a new log file is created.

The other solution is to use a non NT reliant FTP server such as Gene6 or Serv-U (Both of which are supported by HELM).

Best Regards,
Shane Bewick
