ASP.NET process is not authorized to access....

[christheprogrammer]

Hi everyone,

Ok, I am getting the error message:

Access to the path "E:\

http://wwwroot\mypath"

is denied.
The ASP.NET process id not authorized to access the requested resource. For security reasons the default ASP.NET process identity is {machinename}\ASPNET, which has limited priviledges. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET process identity.

Well, I have my ASPNET user at full control (write permissions for the directory) and it still gives me this error. I am trying to use forms-based authentication, but for some reason windows wants to take control and a login dialog comes up 3 times after which this error screen appears. I have changed the security in the IIS so that it is anonymous only - no integrated security.
The error appears on a line which I have the following:

Dim textFileStream as New System.IO.StreamWriter("E:\wwwroot\mypath\filename.txt&quot

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers Chris

OOps, on the previous post the error message should read:

Access to the path "E:\wwwroot\mypath\filename.txt" is denied.
The ASP.NET process id not authorized to access the requested resource. For security reasons the default ASP.NET process identity is {machinename}\ASPNET, which has limited priviledges. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET process identity.

Answered my own question - I had

<identity impersonate=&quot;true&quot;/>

in my web.config file. For Forms based authentication, this is not used.
