Problem writing text file from web service

[Richard L Rosenheim]

I'm trying to write an error log from a web service. I'm getting an
exception of "Access to the path {filename} is denied." when I attempt to
create the file.

I tried specifying the root directory of C:\, and also by not specifying a
directory (which defaulted to the path c:\windows\system32\inetsrv).

Can someone please point me to what security changes I need to make? I'm
running Windows 2003 Server.

Thanks,

Richard Rosenheim

Give the "Network Service" user necessary permission
Or use impersonation in your web service

Hi,

Depending on:

Your IIS server version (5.0/6.0) you have an "Application" attached
to your website. This application has a user account. This is the
account used to run the ASP.Net pages.

This account must be granted write rights to the location where you
want to write something from your ASP.Net application.

In general its "NETWORK SERVICE" or "{your computer}\ASPNET".

Hope this helps,
