  Unable to save image Reply Contact Hi All, I am working on a web application in .net 2.0 . I have created a vbscript funtion on my aspx page to save an image on server. It is woring fine on windows XP using http:\\localhost\virtualdir\Images\imagename.gif, when I run the same code on windows Vista it is showing scripting error "Unable to save data". When I hard coded the folder path(drive path) e.g. C:\Image\Imagename.gif where the image is to save then it is working on server itself only, and showing same error when the application is run on some remote machin(b'cause it looks for C:\Image\Imafename.gif  on the client machin) . Even I have tried it out using machine IP instead of localhost and also with 127.0.0.1 which is default for windows vista, but agian showing the same error.i think due to some security or IIS permissions on vista is not allowing to save image using localhost or IP.  Please also discuss how to set the Verbs (same in case of windows XP it is found when right click on the Project in IIS then configurations and then Verbs). Any help will be highly appriciated. Thanks!!

  Re: Unable to save image Reply Contact I guess it is a permission issue. Generally speaking, the change you noticed started much easier since the introduction of Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6. Now by default, IIS worker process runs under Network Service account which has a very limited set of permissions and rights. To verify if my guess is right, you can go to IIS Manager and find out which application pool hosts your web application. Then you can configure this application pool to run under Local System (via Advanced Settings button in the right panel) instead and test again. Besides, why you want to configure verb? It is a bad idea to enable PUT as it exposes too much to the outside world. ASP.NET provides you a lot of new ways to upload files. For example, the FileUpload control. http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/ctrlref/standard/fileupload.aspx Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

  Re: Unable to save image Reply Contact Then it is more than a permission issue. Why kind of script did you use? Generally speaking, such script is not supported on this IIS forum. Can you post this question to forums at www.asp.net? There are more ASP.NET experts.

  Re: Unable to save image Reply Contact OK. I saw you provided more information on that thread. 405 for PUT requests means HTTP PUT verb is not enabled so that you need to enable that verb. On IIS 7, this can be done via IIS Manager, 1.  Find the web site in the left panel. 2. Click Handler Mappings icon in the middle. 3. Find the handler for the type of path for the PUT requests. Double click it. 4. In the dialog click Request Restrictions button. 5. Navigate to Verbs tab and switch to All verbs (or add PUT to the text box). Note that there may be other changes necessary (such as in Access tab you may need to use Write). As I mentioned before, PUT verb is too powerful to be enabled. It is highly recommended to use other approaches to save images to the server, such as FileUpload control.

In my box, WebDAV handles PUT requests for me. Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
