Cant write to a file

[Damian]

Hi

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
System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess
access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean useAsync, String
msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String
path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32
bufferSize) at System.IO.StreamWriter.CreateFile(String path, Boolean

System.IO.File.AppendText(String path) at
IView.quotethanks.WriteError(String errStr) in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\IView\quotethanks.aspx.vb:line 176

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Hi Damian,

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.
