At last! I have a
At last! I have a Life again… I’ve been meaning to upload some photos for ages, but couldn’t get the Perl script working that I use to create these pages. I spent the best part of a day trying to work it out - it worked fine on my laptop but on my new machine it half worked but wouldn’t rename the image files or create the pages. In the end I gave up. That was about two months ago.
This weekend, determined to get something online, and infused with a new enthusiasm, I solved the problem in about 2 minutes. Bloody file permissions. I’m not 100% sure what was wrong, but it seems that Windows 2000 Server (which this machine runs) sets different permissions under IIS than Windows 2000 Professional (which was on the laptop). I didn’t fix the permissions, just ran the web page as an authenticated user rather than using anonymous access, and suddenly the files got copied an unlinked no problem.
So, the result is you can now see some lovely pictures of my holiday online. I’ve got about another 10 sets of photos to put up there (well… OK, maybe 5) but need to fiddle with them a little first. Expect something in a week or two.
