    Unhappy Permission Denied on localhost???

    Hello all.
    I am working on my own computer, in my home... i.e. - not a network, not a web host. I'm trying to rename(), unlink(), touch(), etc. Basic stuff, but all of a sudden I'm getting Permission Denied errors. Any idea what might cause this?
    Many thanks.

    What OS are you on? If your on windows you will need to set the correct permissions for the IUSR_computer_name, if you on linux then i think you need to give us some more info.

    Thanks john tindell. I'm on Win 2k. Windows is notorious for forgetting settings, which would explain why it just stopped.
    A google of "IUSR_computer_name" returned a whopping 392 results. About half in English. Would you (or anyone else here) by chance know how to access this? Many, many thanks.

    IUSR_computer_name is a built in account used by IIS. When you change the permissions on the files/folders see if it is listed their, if its not then you will need to browse for it it.

    you can usually access this via computer management in control panel > administrator tools
