I can't get write permission on a second ODBC.
I've been using VPASP for about 5 months for a client. I now want to duplicate this site on my dev PC for another client. I've created a new virtual site under IIS and copy/pasted the first site. Then setup a new database in the same folder as the original site. The original site still passes all the permissions tests, but the new one gives me this:
Database Read Database can be read
Database Write Database cannot be written
Verify that the database is in a folder that has both read and write access
Microsoft Message
Open Messages
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed

Error count=2
Error #-2147467259
Error desc. -> [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
Error #-2147217887
Error desc. -> Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
Database Permissions Database permissions tested OK


I changed the odbc to the original db and I get the same result.
These are independant sites and will be on different hosts, but I need this working on my pc to test the sites.

Check the security properties on the folder where you have the database. The IIS process user ID doesn't have write access to that folder. That ID is something like IWAM_[servername]. Make sure that ID has the right permissions, and everything should be fine.

This is for setting up on a local server only but this faq may help out.

Folks this is driving me crazy!
I've now got three different "websites" running locally on my pc for testing. Two of them, once I figured out the security settings for the db folder, have never failed to write when I've asked them to. The third (most recent) site seems to go in and out of write permission whenever if feels like it. All three db's are in the same folder! All are using the same db setup (ODBC). I've tried rebooting to change the write permissions back, no change. As silly as it sounds I can go to one of the older sites, do some updates in it and then return to the cranky site and it will have returned to write capable. It sounds crazy, but I can't find a pattern.

Are each of these sites you're working with actually defined as different sites in IIS, or are they just virtual directories under another site?

Your problem sounds kind of like a problem I have had with setup before: 2 VP-ASP carts on the same site. It doesn't work since they both use the same site-wide application variables that are initiated when the cart is accessed. Once the variables are loaded for one cart, for example, if you go to the other cart while the application state is still "active" and the first cart's values are still in there, they will be applied to that second site.

That scenario doesn't sound exactly the same as the problem you're having but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case.

All the best,

Jon Madrid
