??? Please help.....

 

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

 

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

 

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Are you doing this on your localhost? Also, did you follow this instructions of the error message?

I am doing this on a test site - europe.webmatrixhosting.net

 

I tried the instruction on the error message but failed to find the security tab in the properties of the page.

 

Thanks

Do you have access to the file system on the web server? If not this is something the hosting company will need to arrange
