How do I configure IIS security to run ASP.NET?

[majorbroncosfan]

I am putting together an ASP.NET application, but am having some difficulty getting it to parse. When I load it on the local machine's default web site, it comes up just fine. However, when I try and move it to one of our sites located on the same computer, I get errors regarding security issues. Even when I release all security restrictions, I come up with errors stating that "Access denied to [pathname]. Failed to start monitoring directory changes" I have added the ASPNET local user with read/modify permissions and have the same result.

HELP!!

Check out your web.config file for your application - it contains many security settings. Make sure if you have IIS configured to ANONYMOUS, that the line:

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

does NOT appear in your web.config!

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, that still didn't work.

try opening a command prompt, and going to:

x:\winnt\system32\microsoft.net\framework\vxx.x.x.xx

when in that directory, type:

aspnet_regiis -i

and see if that clears it up. This installs asp.net on the target server, and registers the various extensions with the proper handlers and such.
