ASPNET permission to to access SQL Server Express on localhost

in Visual Studio 2005 I have a what is now called in 2005 a web site that
when run as a file base web connects fine to SQL Express running on the
local machine. However, when I publish this web to a sub web of the default
web in IIS on the local machine, and load the page that accesses SQL Server
Express in the browser it produces a permission error for ASPNET.

How do I grant ASPNET permission to SQL Server Express? I have read that I
should add ASPNET to the Administrators group, but that didn't work, and it
is something that I don't really want to do for security reasons.

You need to give the account you are running the website under access to the
SQL Database. When running in IIS (and depending on your config settings)
the website may be attempting to access the database with the IUSR_[Machine
Name] or ASPNET account. You'll need to give the proper account permission
to the tables or stored procedures it needs.

Exactly were do I go to change the account permission? I have looked
everywhere I can think of but can't find it. All I can find is the SQL
Server Configuration Manager, but it does not appear to have anything in it
to do this. Is it done via a command prompt command? And if so, what
command?

Hi I'm running Windows Server 2003 as a Domain Controller (with Active Directory) as a development server. I created an app that uploads graphics but it doesn't have permission. ASPNET machine account requires permission. The problem is, this server is a domain controller so there is not a local ASPNET account. How can I rectify this ? Paul

I have a small ASP.NET app that someone designed which I need to run on our server. The server is Windows 2000 Server and has the .NET Framework installed. How can I give ASP.NET permission to run? On my dev machine I give the local ASPNET user read/write permission to the folders it needs to access, but as this is a server, the ASPNET user does not exist.

Hello All, ASP.NET has stopped working on my development server. I've read the various posts re this subject, but my circumstances seem unique. I need to know what causes the problem and how to remedy it. If possible I would prefer not to rebuild the server, as the SQL setup is quite involved, and I'd prefer not to add the ASPNET account to the local administrators group since that defeats the point of having the ASPNET account.

In our ASP page, we call XMLHttp to download XML files. When calling our page using localhost (localhost/myWebSite/myPage.htm), it works, but when calling using the IP address of the web server (xx.x.x.xxx/myWebSite/myPage.htm), I got "Permission denied" error in the HTTP.Open statement. Set http = CreateObject("Microsoft.XmlHttp") http.open "Get", "http://" & "xx.x.x.xxx" & "/XMLFiles/N-1min.xml", ALSE --> permission denied error
