simple web fails with C:\Temp problem

[Robm]

I have a super simple asp.net web (hello world plus the current time) which
works fine on my development system. When copied to the target server an
error is reported in that a file cannot be created in the C:\Temp folder.
The person responsible fo rthe server has tried to play with permissions on
that folder without any success. Can anybody point me, or more importnatly
him, in the right direction? I have tried this with a web matrix generated
web (just one file, default.aspx) and with a VS.net generated one, both with
the same error. And bot work OK on the development system. Thanks!

My best guess is the ASPNET local user account needs to have write access to
the temp folder.

Is your system using impersonation?

 

[Robm]

Since impersonation is off by default, I would think that I am not using
impersonation.
I assume that the web guy did indeed try to give write access to C:\Temp,
since he said that he would be playing with permissions.

Have your web guy send a screenshot of the permission setting where ASPNET
user has access to that folder. Sometimes web guys can be lazy or maybe
they don't understand all of the requirements for permissions like they
ought to.

Go ahead and try impersonation to see if that works. If so, then the web
guy probably didn't set the permissions to the ASPNET user.

Good luck!
