I installed Umbraco through Web PI but it failed after creating the database, so I copied the Umbraco 4.5 files to wwwroot and proceed installing from there without doing anything more.
Reading the manual about installing it on Vista there's a long chapter about giving the folders permissions for the "NETWORK SERVICE" user. I didn't, but I haven't had any problemas relating to that so far... Are they still needed? I've tried to assign it to them but it doesn't find "NETWORK SERVICE" anyway.
I'm running it on Win7 which reading around the forum, has IIS7.5 which runs Umbraco under the AppPoolIdentity user... Should I give permissions to this? Do nothing? Something else?
Yes, if the site runs under the AppPoolIdentity user, then give the required permissions to that user on the umbraco folders, and that's all that's needed permission wise.
Sorry to ask again... but, if anything permissions-related was wrong, would it warn about it during installation?
As I said, I usually run the Web Platform Installer, just because it does handle the SQLExpress thing for me. Then I substitute the umbraco 4.0 files under wwwroot for the 4.5 files and go to the browser to install it. At one stage it does say the permissions are perfect. So just to be completely sure, if that message appears I can be totally sure I'm not going to have any problem regarding permissions... right?
If the step says that the permissions are ok, you should be alright. An easy way to tell if there's a problem is try and do something that writes a file to the server, such as create a template, script file or css file, or upload items to the media library. If that works, then the permissions are OK, otherwise, it'll throw an error and you'll need to set the permissions as per the manual.
As I said I'm not experiencing any kind of problem like that after having made new templates and macros, so all seems ok. It was just to be sure if I have any other problem it won't be because of permissions, etc.
Network Service permissions still needed?

Hiya,
If the step says that the permissions are ok, you should be alright. An easy way to tell if there's a problem is try and do something that writes a file to the server, such as create a template, script file or css file, or upload items to the media library.

Thanks a lot Tim!
