CTL_E_PERMISSIONDENIED

IIS 6 on Win2003 with Net 2.0

I am getting an exception trying to run a simple aspx page. This is causing
the error: objCount = objFSO.CreateTextFile("counter.txt", True). I have
gone through my default web page settings and the ntfs setting for
counter.txt. Could someone please point me to the correct IIS server
configuration settings and ntfs setting so that I can run this page (and
many others). Thanks.

Re: CTL_E_PERMISSIONDENIED

Hi,

You probably need to change the trust level of your application to "Full"
trust, in order to use the FSO to write files.

This can be done in web.config.

It is not an IIS or NTFS setting, but a .NET Framework setting

Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I have a web.config file in the web root directory
that says:








I have dug through help files until I am about blind. Is this the correct
syntax? It does not work with this?

Thanks.

Re: CTL_E_PERMISSIONDENIED

You need to add a element, specifying a "full" level. See the
documentation here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/e n-us/cpgenref/html/gngrftrustsection.asp

If this is a hosted site, your hosting company may have restricted you to a
lower trust level, which you can't just override to a higher level inside
your website. In that case you'd need to speak to your hosting company.

Cheers

I believe the problem may lie with trying to run asp ver 1x code on an asp
ver 2.0 system. IIIUC, the code I am trying to execute is client side code
which cannot write to a local disk. Hence, the error. I think I need to
create a code behind page and let it do the work on the server. At least,
that is the direction I am now pursuing.

Thank you for your help though.

Hi

ASP.NET code runs entirely on the server. All that the client sees is plain
HTML, CSS, Javascript etc. Changing the .NET version on the server might
only change the actual HTML output to the client, but doesn't change any
permissions on the client. You can't do that from the server.

Cheers
Ken

I had to make liberal use of runat="server" as well as create a user
control (.ascx) page to do the actual computations. Once I did that, things
started to run.

Thanks for the pointers.
