IIS5 > IIS6 Aspx pages with MSAccess dbs no longer working

M

Mark B

Our webhost (www.usbusinessweb.net) had a W2K IIS5 server crash after a
scheduled hard-boot occurred during a ms-security patch install overnight.
They couldn't get the server working again so they transferred our site
www.orbisoft.com to a new W2003 IIS6 server they set up.

That was a week ago.

Since that transfer, all of our ASPX pages that use Access2000 databases
have stopped working.

Our main one is our "buy" page at
http://www.orbisoft.com/products/taskmanager/2005/purchase/select-version.aspx
which means potential customers can't purchase there.

I have shown the error below which essentially says "Cannot update. Database
or object is read-only."

After numerous assurances from our webhost that they have set anonymous user
write access for both the /fpdb folder and the individual databases we still
get the same error. They say it is our fault in that there is something in
our code that isn't right. They say the have another user where their aspx
pages with MSAccess are working. I said "but all aspx pages were working
fine on IIS5...."

"Line 211: rs.addnew" below is the where the error is highlighted.

The actual relevant code snip-it is as follows with the runtime error listed
below that. You also are welcome to test the page at
http://www.orbisoft.com/products/taskmanager/2005/purchase/select-version.aspx
with a junk order too - I won't hold you to it:

Hi,

Try enclosing rs.addnew is a try catch block to get a better
error message. Sql server is much better for the web than access. MSDE is
a free version of sql server.

Try
rs.addnew
catch ex as exception
Response.write(ex.tostring)
end try

MarkB i have had also such experience using MS ACCESS!!
If possible try using SQLServer as Ken adviced..
I would hint you with some fixes...
1) Have you given the MS ACCESS files the right permission make sure the you
give the ASPNET acct permission
Or even if possible the the FOLDERS where the MDB files exist.(Give it
write, read etc..
2)Whenever you open and MDB file is sometimes locks it and creates a LDF
file if i can remember
3)With Win2003 i think you have to give the FOLDER or your MDB files the
Network service acct the right permission look ath this blog for that
http://forums.asp.net/869604/ShowPost.aspx
Hope that helps
Patrick

Hi,

Try enclosing rs.addnew is a try catch block to get a better
error message. Sql server is much better for the web than access. MSDE is
a free version of sql server.

Try
rs.addnew
catch ex as exception
Response.write(ex.tostring)
end try

---------------------
Our webhost (www.usbusinessweb.net) had a W2K IIS5 server crash after a
scheduled hard-boot occurred during a ms-security patch install overnight.
They couldn't get the server working again so they transferred our site
www.orbisoft.com to a new W2003 IIS6 server they set up.

That was a week ago.

Since that transfer, all of our ASPX pages that use Access2000 databases
have stopped working.

Our main one is our "buy" page at
http://www.orbisoft.com/products/taskmanager/2005/purchase/select-version.aspx
which means potential customers can't purchase there.

I have shown the error below which essentially says "Cannot update. Database
or object is read-only."

After numerous assurances from our webhost that they have set anonymous user
write access for both the /fpdb folder and the individual databases we still
get the same error. They say it is our fault in that there is something in
our code that isn't right. They say the have another user where their aspx
pages with MSAccess are working. I said "but all aspx pages were working
fine on IIS5...."

"Line 211: rs.addnew" below is the where the error is highlighted.

The actual relevant code snip-it is as follows with the runtime error listed
below that. You also are welcome to test the page at
http://www.orbisoft.com/products/taskmanager/2005/purchase/select-version.aspx
with a junk order too - I won't hold you to it:

I have created an ultra-simple database and aspx test page at:
http://www.orbisoft.com/products/taskmanager/2005/purchase/test.aspx
to illustrate that it is still a Windows 2003 Server permissions issue:

The aspx page HTML is simply:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<%@Page aspcompat=true Language = VB Debug="true"%>
<%@Import Namespace="System.Data"%>
<%@Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDb"%>
<%@Import Namespace="System.Globalization"%>

<%
Dim sPath as String, conn, rs
sPath = "D:\inetpub\www\orbisoft\fpdb\db12.mdb"
conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & sPath)
rs = server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
rs.open ("Table1", conn, 2, 2)
rs.addnew
rs.update
%>


It still gives the same error message "Cannot update. Database or object is
read-only."

Ken - Do you know what the ADO.NET for the above sample would be?

Hi,

Any way you could update you code to use ado.net instead of ado?

Ken
----------------
I did that and it didn't catch the rs.addnew error -- it just breezed
through it and then gave the same error but for the next statement:

Line 222: if Request("FirstName") <> "" then rs("FirstName")=
strProper(Request("FirstName"))



Server Error in '/' Application.

What you are experiencing is related to NTFS permissions. If your application is not using
impersonation then the NetworkService account (the default account under which the thread of your
application executes under IIS 6.0 and Windows 2003) must have Full permissions to the folder where
the Access database is located.

It's nothing about IIS.
In Win2003, there is a change.
You must give rights to edit data of the directory, where you put the ACCESS
mdb file in, to the user ASPnet (sorry, I forget the certain name, only be
similar)
 
M

Mark B

Yes. From our webhost:

"Had to redo your permissions in NTFS for /fpdb directories to allow write
permission for anonymous internet user - and at
the same time I have verified it is indeed NETWORK SERVICES user that also
needs write permission on your database directories in addition to anonymous
internet user, (which wasn't the case in IIS5)"
