• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

How grant permission for an asp.net program to generate a file?

All,
My fibonacciViewer.aspx works on my hard drive, but not when I upload it to teach. Try it out at http://teach.park.edu/~jdean01/viewer/fibonacciViewer.aspx. It prompts me to login, and I have tried several web user logins and even an admin login. After every login attempt, I get no error message, but I get the same login dialog that says "Authentication required." By the way, my logins do work when I login using winSCP and I do FTPs.

The fibonacciViewer.aspx program displays source code for a fibonacci.aspx file in an iframe’s left pane. It dynamically generates an actual fibonacci.aspx file in a test directory and uses that file as the value for the iframe’s right pane src attribute. By doing that, the fibonacci.aspx file’s result should display in the right iframe pane.

I'm guessing that the problem is that that there is no write permission to dynamically create the fibonacci.aspx file in a test directory (and dynamically generate the test directory itself if it doesn’t exist). Is such write permission possible and if it is, can you give write permission safely?

I have tried to put a check in every permission box using Plesk, but nothing helps. I still get the same "Authentication required" every time.

Is what I'm trying to do even possible?
If yes, what should I do to make it happen?

thanks,
john
