Access to path **** denied.

[George Hardy]

hello all,

why would the following error occur, and how is it fixed? It seems like IIS
cant create a temp directory. I also added the ASPNET user to the
\Temporary ASP.NET Files\ directory with full rights, but it didn't seem to
work.


Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET
Files\root\82d26208\ca478f3a" is denied.

thanks in advance!!!

Hello George,

which OS are you running on?

 

[George Hardy]

my development machine (where this works) is XP,

when i copy the site to the machine where it doesn't work, it is a Win2003
Server.

1. "AspNet" and "Network Service" accounts should have write or full control
to this folder below:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files

2. When you deploy your app to Win2k3, donot copy files to the above folder,
instead, you deploy them to IIS Virtual folder/directory.

May be somebody modified your FS by chance ?

*** By default, when you first install .NetFW v1.1, the system should
already took care the above folder for you. You really donot have to touch
it.

Hello George,

on XP ASP.NET runs under the ASPNET account - under W2K3 under NETWORK SERVICE
by default (ASPNET is still included). This is configured via the Application
Pool feature in IIS6.

There is also a group called IIS_WPG - give this group full control to the
temp directory - if that works you can lockdown more if you like.

takes about 5 minutes anyway.
