XF 1.5 Permission error uploading file on Windows 2012 server

[Mark E. Johnson]

Hello,
I recently moved my site to a Windows 2012 server. I am getting the error "There was a problem uploading your file" when I try to upload a very small text file. The error details are included below. In IIS I have given Modify and Write permissions to IIS_IUSRS and Network Service accounts. Those permissions were added to the data and internal_data folders and subfolders. I can see the file in the c:\windows\temp folder. Looks like it cannot copy it from c:\windows\temp to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\SRO\internal_data\attachments\... I have also Analyzed Permissions for the user and the "Upload attachments to posts permission" is set to Yes. Thanks for any help you can provide. Mark

Try giving Full Control to the account(s) (and make sure it's the correct account).

Thank you for the quick response. As soon as I posted this I figured out that I was giving permissions to the wrong user account. Another lesson learned.
