"Access to the path is denied" error when using PreExecute

[Evandro Moreno]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use PreExecute and ASP on one of my templates and every time I access the page in SmartEdit I get the following error message:

An error occured:

Access to the path '\\mydomain\cms\PreexecuteData\' is denied.

The page cannot be displayed.

Check the RDExecute and PreExecute settings.

 

I am only testing PreExecute by using a very simple asp statement. Right now the code is:

<!--RDExecute=ASP-->

<!IoRangePreExecute><% response.write("Hello World!") %><!/IoRangePreExecute>

<br />

 

There are other projects in the server that are using PreExecute without problems. I tried to use PHP instead of ASP and I get the same results. Only by adding the comment <!--RDExecute=X--> (X being the chosen language) to the template I already get the error message.

Under the project General Settings a I have:

• "Allow active templates" checked ;
  
• PHP;JS;ASP set for eligible suffixes;
  
• Under "RDExecute and PreExecute settings" I have:
  
• physical path: \\mydomain\cms\PreexecuteData 
• Virtual directory(IIS): /PreexecuteData
• OBS: I am using the same physical path and virtual directory as projects that use PreExecute successfully.

In the project variant I have:

• "Select scripting for active templates" set to ASP.
  

Any ideas of what could be causing the error? Am I missing something?

 

Thank you for your help,

Evandro Moreno.

Hi,

Make sure the user used by the services has permissions on you target (common names: RedDotUser/CMSUser/WSMUser). Additionally given it is a remote location the user if a local user needs the same password on both systems.
