Setting Web Server Directory Permissions

Calls to some FileNet Web Services URLs and COM components will fail unless you, or the server administrator, enable script execute permission for the directory containing your web application. Verify that these permissions have been set (if not, you must set them).

To verify or set the directory permissions, use the procedure indicated for your Windows OS:

Windows 2000

  1. On your web server, point to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools.
  2. Locate and click Internet Services Manager. The Internet Information Services (IIS) console displays.
  3. In the IIS console, locate and open the directory name (node) associated with the solution you created (for example, Process). Right-click and select Properties.
  4. In the Properties dialog box, select the Directory tab, if it is not already on the top level.
  5. Check that the Read option is selected and that the Execute Permissions, Scripts and Executables option is also selected. If both options are already selected, click Cancel to exit the IIS console. Otherwise, select the options, and click OK.
  6. Exit the Internet Services Manager console.

Windows NT

  1. On your web server, point to Start > Programs > Windows NT Option Pack > Microsoft Internet Information Server.
  2. Locate and click Internet Service Manager. The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) displays.
  3. In MMC, locate the directory name (node) associated with the solution you created (for example, Process). Right-click and choose Properties.
  4. From the Properties dialog box, select the Directory tab, if it is not already on the top level.
  5. Check that the Read option and the Execute (including scripts) option are selected. If both options are already selected, click Cancel to exit MMC. Otherwise, select the options, and click OK.
  6. Exit the Microsoft Management Console.
