Today I logged onto the server as the IUSR account (that's what the web
server is
running as). This account COULD write to the config directory, so
therefore the message
MediaWiki 1.11.0 is giving me is not true.
Do any of you developers of this wiki know what other problems could
cause MediaWiki to
throw this error ??
"Can't write config file, aborting.
In order to configure the wiki you have to make the config subdirectory
writable by the web server. Once configuration is done you'll move the
created LocalSettings.php to the parent directory, and for added safety
you can then remove the config subdirectory entirely."

Subject: Need Installation Help for IIS 6.0
Teammates,
Here is my environment:
A project has Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 installed on VMWare
v1.0.4 virtual server.
I have successfully installed PHP 5.2.3 and MySQL 4.1.14 on this
virtual server. I can serve html as well
As php files using this virtual server. However, when I try to
install MediaWiki 1.11.0,
I get this error:
Can't write config file, aborting.
In order to configure the wiki you have to make the config
subdirectory writable by the web server. Once configuration is done
you'll move the created LocalSettings.php to the parent directory, and
for added safety you can then remove the config subdirectory entirely.
However, I have given everyone I can think of write access to try to
resolve the problem, including:
IIS_WPG
IUSR_
IWAM_
Everyone
Domain Users
Network Authority
So I am stuck.
If you have any ideas, pls let me know.
Tanx !
Lori
