Topic: Error write access issue (iis 7 + windows server)

Posted by cbl · 05-12-2016 - 16:04

Error :

$docx->createDocx($filenamewithaccent);

Error : Error while trying to write to X:\Path\File with accent - (éç).docx please check write access.

Solution :

$docx->createDocx(iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE', $filenamewithaccent));

Is there an other solution ?

Hello,

It seems your IIS has some missing option to use files with accents (this is not a phpdocx issue but an IIS configuration problem). Please check if you server includes this patch:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2277918

and if it can use UTF8 characters. Also set AllowHighBitCharacters option as true:

Hello,

DocxStructure.inc (Line 140) : is_readable() and is_writable return false

=> DocxStructure.inc (Line 141) : throw error !

The file is created even if is_readable() and is_writable return false ...

Hello,

Please try using PHP CLI mode, that's issue seems some wrong configuration from IIS. Also please check default rwx access, because if the DOCX is being created then both PHP functions should return a true value.

We also recommend you using FastCGI with IIS to avoid similar issues.

Regards.
