Answer 1

I had a ton of trouble with this and then found a great solution:

Create a file in a text editor called whoami.php with the below code as it's content, save the file and upload it to public_html (or whatever you root of your webserver directory is named). It should output a useful string that you can use to track down the user the webserver is running as, my output was "php is running as user: nt authority\iusr" which allowed me to track down the permissions I needed to modify to the user "IUSR".
