First let me say I LOVE the XAMPP, it was easy to use and install, not to mention kinda fun. BUT the biggest problem is the permissions. After all Apache is mostly from a Linux/Unix environment and the permissions it uses are different from the Windows OS, not to mention you are SCREWED if you attempt to use an FTP program to attempt to remotely change permissions on an XP or Windows Server machine..it doesn't work. You must have either physical or remote access to it...even then HOW DO YOU DO IT???
On my Windows Server 2003 system I have a file stucture set up like
F:\XAMPP\htdocs\Sites\ (from here down are my sites) such as
F:\XAMPP\htdocs\Sites\SoCal\demo\htdocs\forums.
Now my issue is I have under this 'forum' directory a directory called 'uploads' which my forum is SUPPOSED to use to allow the forum members to upload pictures, files, etc. Problem is when you look at the properties (again in Windows 2003 server) for the this directory you see

AND NONE of them have a Write permission assigned to them.
SO
1) How do you tell What SID is assigned to what?
2) How do you adjust the Write permissions, because just adding it doesn't work for the site.
3) Can this be modified in the httpd.conf file?
Please HELP
Thanks
