Topic: Unable to Login using IE8

Greetings, I recently updated my browser to IE8 and immediately was unable to login to Tracmor.  I did verify that successful login could still be achieved using IE6.

Reading within the reported error, it seems as though it is saying a permissions error is occuring in writing data to the tracmor/tmp folder.  I wanted to confirm that with you and was wondering why would IE6 still be successful and IE8 fail?

Following was the reported error:

Error in PHP Script

Re: Unable to Login using IE8

UPDATE:  Stranger still.  I successfully logged into Tracmor using the web functionality built into Microsofts Outlook application.  No adjustments have been made on the server or IIS or folder permissions since my original post.  Attempting to login via IE8 fails however.  Bizarre.  Am I witnessing a hidden Microsoft 'feature' of IE 8? (sigh)

Re: Unable to Login using IE8

RESOLVED!

Issue was with IIS7 and read/write access to a server system /tmp directory on the hard drive (root level).  Once both IIS and IISUSR were given write permissions, the application login functioned properly again.

Not sure why, using IE6 or 7 browsers the issue did not occur.  Unless local resources were used (client side) -vs- server side?  when establishing and recording sessions.

At any rate, humming along nicely using IE8 now :-)
