RE: Access to the path is denied - trying to write a file



Hi Dave,

Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
Regarding on the "Access to the path denied..." error, it is a normal
exception when there is unsufficient permission of the current ASP.NET
process identity... What's your ASP.NET application's current IIS process
identity setting and the web.config security setting?

If you're using teh default process identity(Network Service) and dosn't
using Impersonate in web.config, then the network service account dosn't
have write/modify permissions to the IIS's default site's directory(or sub
dirs) by default... And this permission is the NTFS file permission (not
the IIS's virtual directory permission...). So you can using file explore
to grant NTFS write/modify permission to the ASPNET process identity
(network service) or the IIS_WPG group and test again....

Hope helps. Thanks,

Steven Cheng

| Hi;
|
| I created a virtual directory in IIS 6.0 and my asp.net app runs fine.
But
| when it tries to write a file I get:
| Access to the path is denied. - C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\RunReportASP\images
|
| C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\RunReportASP is the directory of my virtual directory
for
| my app. In it's properties I did check "Write" as a permission.
|
| What else do I need to do?
|
