Duplicator on IIS? (permission problems)

    Hi,

    I’ve been using Duplicator on Apache/MySQL for a while and it’s worked a treat. I’ve just inherited a WP site that is built on IIS/MySQL and the plug is failing on the permission check. There appears to be something in the root of the site that duplicator isn’t happy with. Permissions on the snapshot folders are ok. I’ve had a look around here and your site (support/FAQ) and couldn’t find anything specific to IIS. Is there any gotcha’s I need to be aware of, some hidden permission somewhere.

    Any help gratefully received.

  • Hey Gravelrash,

    The plugin simply uses the PHP function is_writable to perform the check. I would just google “IIS is_writable” to see if you can find any clues to get PHP to return true for this function…

    Cheers~

    Thanks for the reply Cory. I suspect it is a permission thing but I am having a bit of a “needle in a haystack” moment. Is there any logging within the plugin that might enable me to discover where PHP is getting denied access?

    Sorted, good old IUSR didn’t have permission to all the subfolders.

    Thanks for posting the update!
