I recently rebuilt a Windows 2008 server and set it up with PHP5 and FastCGI under IIS7 for a bunch of word press blogs. I came to the end of the install and was setting rights to the wp-content folders so people could upload attachments, but ran into some troubles. I dunno if this changed because of Service Pack 2, but I found I now have to assign the rights, not to “Network Service” which is the Identity of the app pools, and not to “ISS_IUSRS” group, but to an account simply called “IUSR”. I’m sure previously i just assigned permission to the network service account? And surly IUSR would be a member of IIS_IUSR’s by default? I dunno! Anyway I had to use procmon to monitor the requests and see which account was actually being used.
