ASP File upload problem

[edmicman]

I'm using the ASPFileUpload component (I found it somewhere on MS's knowledge base I think) and have a weird problem. I can upload files just fine if the server is logged in as the administrator. But if I log out, (which should be fine, IIS runs as a system service), I get this:

Active Server Pages error '8002802b'

Create object failed

?

An error occurred while creating object 'fuFile'.

Active Server Pages error '8002802b'

Create object failed

?

An error occurred while creating object 'fuFile'.

Active Server Pages error '8002802b'

Create object failed

?

An error occurred while creating object 'fuFile'. An error occurred uploading your file: Class doesn't support Automation

Any ideas? Thanks!

i used this ASP upload component on a project and it worked fine. If you can't get that to work, maybe you should think about using a more reliable add in module.

I couldn't find anything on your problem, but if you've tried the normal troubleshooting steps (restart IIS, try with a different server, etc.), you may want to try the foums over at www.asp.net. A lot of the guys over there are the authors of the common ASP/programming books you can buy. They really know their stuff.

The IUSR most likely doesn't have write permissions to whereever the file is supposed to go, or to the %TEMP% directory.

Or the IWAM account doesn't have read access to the DLL... could be many things

if the functionality works while the administrator is logged in, but it stops once you log out, i suspect that there is a dll that is configured to run as the interactive user. when you log out, there is no interactive user, so things stop working. look for a com+ package with your upload dll and make sure it is not running as the interactive user.

Thanks, that seemed to be it. I changed the component to run as a system user and it seems to work now. Strange thing is, I remember this same problem happening before and somehow I fixed it (or maybe I didn't and just forgot about it??) but I don't think I changed anything with the COM properties. Ah well, its all good now!
