Hi All

At our datacentre we use file servers and the IIS installations are pointing to the file server like \\machine\share

i can access the file directory fine however when i go to run the application i get this error

ASP.NET Applications are executed by the Network Service account. Ensure that the Network Service on the IIS server itself has permissions :)

[carlblanchard]

So the network service should be on the file server ?

[plenderj]

On the file server ensure that the network service of the IIS system has rights :)

Done that however i think the main problem is the fact the application pool is pointing to folders on the local directory and this particular site is outside that application pool

[plenderj]

Okay so the source folder for the actual application itself is on \\someserver, but is being executed / 'hosted' by IIS on \\someotherserver ?

[carlblanchard]

yes the source files are at \\server\share

Urgh. How about this.
Use DFS, and have the file physically stored on the IIS server (thus getting around any weird issues), but then it'll still appear as though they're in the same location when shared over the AD.
