Setting Folder Permissions for Umbraco

This is going to be a quick post. I am starting to mess around with Umbraco and seeing that it could be very useful in certain situations.  Anyway, this post is literally showing you the batch file I used to set permissions on folders.  I gathered all of this from a few posts, as each one was slightly different in my eyes. So I figured, I might as well add another one out there for those that may be having problems.

I installed 5 different Umbraco sites (version 4.7.1) locally and they all ran under the same Application Pool in IIS. This was done on Window 7 Ultimate (64-bit). 

The structure looks like this:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\umbracodev
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\umbracoblog

Etc….

First thing I did was create the batch file below:

icacls app_code /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)RX
icacls app_browsers /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)RX
icacls app_data /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls bin /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls config /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls css /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls data /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls masterpages /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls macroscripts /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls media /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls python /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls scripts /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls umbraco /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls usercontrols /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls xslt /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls web.config /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":(OI)(CI)M
icacls web.config /grant "IIS APPPOOL\umbracodev":M

Next I copied this file into each root of each site (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\umbracodev\UmbracoPermission.bat)

Then I went into each site and right clicked the bat file -> Run as Administrator

Then you should see something like this from your output

This worked for me, and I hope it works for you.  Now I can get started on working with this CMS!
