xml save denied

[farshad]

Do you know why I am getting this error please?

Access to the path "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Farshad\ASP.NET\DSL\ctcUsers.xml" is denied.

 

It happens when running

doc.Save(strPath & "\ctcUsers.xml")

Thanks

Check the directory permission, whether you got 'write' permission in this directory or not?

Ah yes, I've had a lot of trouble with this error. If messing with

the user permissions doesn't help, there is another (more

awkward) way that works. It seems that permissions won't let

you overwrite the file if the ASP.NET didn't create it to begin with.

 

To overcome this, set a breakpoint on the doc.Save line. When

this is reached, delete the original file, then continue the code.

The new file will be saved, and then it can be overwritten by the

app.

Sorry, I just need to clarify. Do you mean in ASP.NET we cannot overwrite existing file? Every time before save, we need to delete the original file?

[Bucky]

No, you only need to do this once for the file. After that, the

ASP.NET app will have the proper permissions to overwrite the

file, since it created the file in the first place.

I have the same problem, and I tried it. It doesn't work.

 

When trying to create a new file it keeps coming back with :

 

Additional information: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WitteEzel\xml files\test.xml" is denied.

I am running xp pro.

Go to windows explorer.

Tools, folder options. At the very buttom of the list in the view tab make sure the item which says something like simple sharing (recommended) is unchecked.
