Thank you for the help. Changing the variable name did the trick.

Is the same error message used for different exceptions? An additional text like "Variable is readonly" in the error message would have helped me a lot.
"Access rights of the topic do not allow writing" lead me to the point that I am having problems with the firewall or the DCOM configuration.

Best regards

The error message says "Access rights of the topic do not allow writing.".

This means that the problem has nothing to do with COM/DCOM or Windows security settings.
It has to do with OPC item-level permissions. The item "Demo.Single" simply isn't writeable - it is read-only.

Other items are writeable. E.g. those that are under the Simulation branch and have "Register" in their name.

Best regards

Windows Server 2012 - PHP Website was created by alexf
Hello Community!

I am using the Windows Server 2012 with IIS 8 to run a PHP Website. On some user interactions, I have to write values to the OPC server.

Used components:
Windows Server 2012
IIS 8
Sql Server 2014
PHP 5.6.0
Quick OPC 5.34

Before changing everything, I tried the script " ReadAndDisplayValue.php" from the PHP example folder.

While reading the variable works, I am having problems to write the value of the OPC variable.

My code (PHP part only):
// Create EasyOPC-DA component 
    $Client = new COM("OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient");
 
    // Read item value and display it
    print $Client->ReadItemValue("", "OPCLabs.KitServer", "Demo.Single");
    print $Client->WriteItemValue("", "OPCLabs.KitServer", "Demo.Single", 1)

I get the following output if the site with the code is opened:

"
3.4280347824097
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message '<b>Source:</b> OpcLabs.EasyOpcRaw.DataAccess.RawEasyDAClient<br/><b>Description:</b> Access rights of the topic do not allow writing. ' in C:\inetpub\kkgs14-18\ReadAndDisplayValue.php:13 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\kkgs14-18\ReadAndDisplayValue.php(13): com->WriteItemValue('', 'OPCLabs.KitServ...', 'Demo.Single', 1) #1 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\kkgs14-18\ReadAndDisplayValue.php on line 13
"

While testing and developing, I have turned of the windows firewall.
I configured the DCOM settings for the "OpcEnum" and "OPCKitServer". I set the "access permissions" and "Launch and activation permissions" for the two objects for my "IIS APPPOOL\<username>" User.
The apppool user is allowed to launch, activate and access the objects local.
After I changed the DCOM settings, I restarted the server and opened the ReadAndDisplayValue.php" page again but without success. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you for your help!
