Hello,
I'm trying to track down the following ASP.NET error:
Access denied to 'd:\damon\TravReport\Test.aspx'. Failed to start monitoring
file changes.
[HttpException (0x80070005): Access denied to
'd:\damon\TravReport\Test.aspx'. Failed to start monitoring file changes.]

System.Web.HttpResponse.ReportRuntimeError(Exception e, Boolean canThrow)

System.Web.HttpRuntime.FinishRequest(HttpWorkerRequest wr, HttpContext
context, Exception e) +479
I believe the problem is related to impersonation to some extent. In IIS, I
have the anonymous user set to "comUser". This user has full permissions on
the file test.aspx in question. Everything works fine right up until I add
an identity element to my web.config. Once I have the identity element in
web.config, the error occurs. (user is in "administrators", password
verified correct). If I remove the identity line, everything will work as
desired.
All my google searching says to "give the user read rights to the file".
"Everyone" has "Full Rights" to my d:\ (and subdirs). I've read and
followed the KB article below and no luck. I'd sure appreciate any help you
may have towards solving this rather confusing problem related to windows
"security". If I could read the source code to "DirectoryMonitor", I would
have more information as to what permissions are required to not trigger the
error. Since the class is not documented, I'm afraid I don't have any other
insight to pass on.
Thank you,
Damon
In my web.config file, I have the following:
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<identity impersonate="true" userName="comUser" password="comUser"/>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
