WordPress in IIS 7.5 – “cannot create directory”

IIS 7 creates “IUSR” as default user to access files via IIS. So make user IUSR has write access to files/folders.

How to check if IUSR has read Access?

Right Click -> Folder -> Properties -> Security Tab See if IUSR is in Group or user names list, If No.

Click Edit -> Add -> Advanced -> Find Now -> Select IUSR and click OK four times

Another way is AppPooling

->Open IIS Manager

-> Click the website you want to edit

-> Double-click Authentication

-> Click Anonymous Authentication, then click Edit… under Actions

-> Change to use the Application pool identity credentials instead of the Specific user (mine was IUSR)

Expect your issue will be fixed.
