java.io.FileNotFoundException: (Access is denied) issue

Question

Running CF9 on Win7 64 and iis7. getting the error below when I try to write a file

FileWrite(GetDirectoryFromPath(ExpandPath('./somefilename.png')), "#somedata#");

</cfscript>

Error occured while performing write: java.io.FileNotFoundException: (Access is denied)

The path exists and I have tried the following with no success.

1. change CF to run as a different account and add that account with full access to the web dir - no luck

2. modified all accounts to have full access to the web dir - no luck

3. CF sandbox permissions - no luck

4. changed UAC settings to none - no luck

5. added that web dir as an exclude from the virus software - no luck

6. searched google high and low - no luck

nothing seems to work. out of ideas.

anyone else run across this issue? and solve it?

Thanks.

Have you tried setting CF to run as Local System (or just System I think it's called in 08) and turning OFF sandbox security?

I have also experienced wierdies with permissions, try keeping it simple for now - try writing the file to an explicit path, like c:\temp. Then try moving it up a level, and moving it around until you get to your web root.
