CTL_E_PERMISSIONDENIED??

[MikeV06]

IIS 6 on Win2003 with Net 2.0

I am getting an exception trying to run a simple aspx page. This is causing
the error: objCount = objFSO.CreateTextFile("counter.txt", True). I have
gone through my default web page settings and the ntfs setting for
counter.txt. Could someone please point me to the correct IIS server
configuration settings and ntfs setting so that I can run this page (and
many others). Thanks.


Server Error in '/' Application.

Line 26: objCount.close
Line 27: objCount = objFSO.CreateTextFile("counter.txt", True)
Line 28: objCount.WriteLine(visitorcount)
Line 29: end if

I have a web.config file in the web root directory that says:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
<appSettings>
<add key="hitit.aspx" value="full" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

I have dug through help files until I am about blind. Is this the correct
syntax? It does not work with this?

Thanks.

The ASPNET account needs ntfs Modify permissions for the folder if your site
is using anonymous access. Otherwise, all users of your site must be in a
group that has modify permissions for that folder.

Thank you. I have subscribed to that group along with the webcomponents
group.

I have just started trying to learn it. I copied several supposedly asp 101
examples that would create a simple hit counter from the asp site that help
sent me to. Obviously the examples must be out of date. Still I would like
to know the security problems keeping it from working.

group that has modify permissions for that folder.

That is what I thought as well. I gave network service those permissions
and it still did not work. I added everyone and gave it full control just
to make sure it was not a ntfs permission issue.

I am at a loss. I will also try over at the other group too.

Thanks.
