if so you can log in and chmod the file or folder to 777
that should sort that problem

Yes, It is for a web page, and I'm running Windows Vista.
I don't believe I can do a chmod in Vista

I managed to fix this issue by logging in as an Administrator, but no
I ge
the "web site cannot display the page" error

Thanks

I'm going to give you a slightly generic answer, since I don't have
the web server installed on Vista.

There are two sets of permissions that get involved with MS's web
server. One set is managed by starting the MMC and "managing" the
server. Drill down to the properties of the default web server and
check the "home directory" tab. You need to make sure the site is set
to be publicly readable.

The other area, and the one I suspect that Vista probably flucks up,
are the actual folder permissions. Find the physical location of the
folder that the server serves from, as well as the location of "blog".
(Unless blog is a virtual directory being served, it will be right
under the root directory for the web server).

Make sure the IUSR_whatever has read access to the directory in
question.

One other thought is that if calling "/blog" runs a program (as
opposed to a static web page) then you need the appropriate "run
script" or "execute cgi" permissions set on in the web server
management console.

can you right click the file on the server, choose properties and make sure
owner, group and world are all ticked for read, write and execute
either that or create a .htaccess file to solve this .. try
