I have a desktop that runs our small company intranet on IIS 5.1. I
am trying to install some new software that does some report writing
functions called rePortal. The install has me create a new virtual
directory, pointing to the install directory, and then I should be
able to fire up //MyMachine/rePortal and it will take me to the
rePortal startup page, which it tries to do (When I type that address,
it directs me to: //MyMachine/rePortal/reports.aspx.
The problem is I get an error. Something is wrong with my security
setup. I've tried adjusting it a million times editing both the
security tab in IIS, and going through windows explorer and giving
access to the rePortal folder. Hoping that someone here can interpret
this gibberish for me and point me in the right direction. Here's my
error:
Server Error in '/rePortal' Application.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the
path "c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET
Files\reportal\6d280dd1\7263f3a" 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.
