Cant write to a file
Damian
The following code is what I use to open the file
Dim sw As StreamWriter =
File.AppendText("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\IView\log\errWebLog.txt")
These are the following permissons I have set:
The ASPNET account set to anonymous login.
The ASPNET account has read/write permissions on the folder
THe folder's properties in IIS has read/write set .
I get the following error message when i try and open and write to a
file in a directory under IIS :
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\IView\log\errWebLog.txt" is denied. at
System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str) at

IView.quotethanks.WriteError(String errStr) in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\IView\quotethanks.aspx.vb:line 176
Any help will be appreciated

If you are running Windows 2003, you need to give IIS_WPG Group rights on
that folder. That is the account under which the application runs in Windows
2003 IIS 6.0
Write back if it doesnt help.
Thanks.
