UnauthorizedAccessException upon access to an ASP>NET web service

B

Bruce

I am developing an ASP.NET web service application. It works fine on my
WinXP Prof development machine. But when I send it to a Windows Server 2003
system I get the following error (attached below).

I suppose I have some kind of permissions issue on the server? What
recommendations can anyone propose?

Thanks,

Hi Bruce,

Make sure you give that temp directory (Temporary ASP.NET Files) full access
for the Network Service or whatever account your Application Pool in IIS 6
runs under. Actually I think ASP.NET install sets up the NETWORK SERVICE
account automatically but not any others you might get assigned with an ISP
Web Site and custom Application Pool for your site.

Hope this helps,

Rick,

Thanks.

Actually, this is not an ISP server, but rather a Windows Small Business
Server 2003 server here in my home office. Everything about the setup of
this server is pretty much default configuration. (ASP.NET 1.1, of course,
is simply installed on the server "out of the box.")

Would I normally need to do something special to enable a web service to run
on the server?

To install from the development workstation to the server, I simply used the
vs.net 2003 menu item, "copy project", to move a copy onto the server. As a
result, a new directory was created on the server within inetpub/wwwroot
called /firstWebSvs, which is the same name the directory had on my
development workstation.

Finally, could you explain what you mean by temp directory? ( So far, I
don't seem to use any directory that would be called a temp directory.)

Thanks,
-- Bruce

I was able to get the web service to work on the server via an article I
found by searching another newsgroup. I needed to give the Local Service
and Network Service accounts Full Control permission to the
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 directories. Is there any
downside (from a security standpoint) to granting these permissions?

Thanks,
Bruce
