I am having a problem with cpshost.dll - the posting acceptor. I have used
the sample patest application from Microsoft and cpshost.dll, version
7.0.1310.0.

When I use http://server/patest/uploadn.asp, and use the cpshost.dll in the
Patest virtual directory, I can upload files, however when I point the
patest application at the cpshost.dll in the scripts virtual directory, I
get this error.

"HTTP/1.0 500 cannot move file "Filename" to its final destination. Further
processing is stopped."

I need to use the cpshost.dll for an application I am supporting and I think
this is the crux of my problems. I cannot replace it with a different .dll.
I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this problem.

My setup is -
Windows 2000 Server - Service Pack 2 - All security update patches.
Internet Information Services, version 5.
cpshost.dll, version 7.0.1310.0.
IIS Lockdown application has been run against IIS, using the ASP template
and allowing scripts.

Thank you,

Regards,

Can you check the access permissions to the Windows Temp directory?
This directory should have a write access for the IUSR_WEB [ie, the web
user. It can have a different name] user.
Because Posting Acceptor will first post the file into Windows Temp
directory then
it will move the file to the posting directory [ie, the directory which is
mapped from IIS to post the file.]

Both the folders should have write access.

Great, that worked for the patest application but I am still having the same
problem with my own application which should work the same way as the patest
application. At this stage, I have given the web user full access to my disk
drives but I still get the same error. I agree this has to be a permissions
problem.

I am going to do a full reinstall of the machine, and will try again. I
suspect the Microsoft IISLock utility may have disabled something somewhere.

Thanks and regards,

Forgot to add this to my previous message. This is the error generaged in the event viewer when I try to upload a file. I have searched everywhere for this event id but no luck.

The description for Event ID ( 8833 ) in Source ( CPSHOST ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: GLY\Jglynn, http://SERVER/TempUploads/SERVER_00000984_0AEEDC8A:0, SETUPNT.CAB.

What does this error mean?

8833 - Cannot move files to its final destination. Further processing is stopped.
 
The user doesn't have enough permissions to move the posted file.
 
Please check the permissions of the Windows Temp folder and final destination folder.
 
It may not be necessary that Windows temp folder is C:\Temp directory.
 
Please confirm that the permission is given to the right folder.
 
Also your final destination folder [ie, the folder which has been mapped to the IIS.] should have write permission.
 
All these are the system level permissions not the one given in the IIS administrator.
 
Can you do a search in Google for "Posting Acceptor Operations Guide". All the error codes are described in that.
 
PA is a part of Microsoft Site Server.
