I'm trying to get the PingPlotter Pro Web Interface to work with IIS, and I'm getting this error: "The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object". What do I do fix this?
You need to grant rights to the web server user to launch PingPlotter Pro, and to create the PingPlotter Pro object. To do this:
- Run dcomcnfg (Start -> Run, type "dcomcnfg")
- Go through "Console Root", Components Services, My Computer, DCOM Config, PingPlotter - right click on "Properties".
- Go to the "Security" tab and customize all launch and access permissions - put "Everyone" for full rights on both sections.
- Test the web interface again.
- If this works, then you can back off the rights a bit. Most people have success granting the user that IIS is running (IUSR_{MACHINE NAME}) as, "Launch and Activation Permissions:" "Local Activation" only. If this doesn't work, then contact our support department with the details of your error and environment.
We talk about some of this a bit more in the PingPlotter Pro product manual.
Note: As of August, 2007, we strongly recommend using the latest beta version with IIS as it has numerous performance enhancements when running multiple targets. The 3.10p release does work fine with IIS, but is noticeably slower than using the built-in web server. With the 3.15p betas, this performance difference has been mostly eliminated.
