.NET Server

[bmacdonald]

Hi:
This is probably not the forum to post this on but.
I am running my own web server, IIS 6 on .NET Enterprise Server RC1. Since switching from WIndows 2000, I can't figure out the security settings. My asp.net applications can't access my databases unless they're in the same folder. Microsoft says the security is "locked down" in the .NET server. But I can't find documentation anywhere that explains how to unlock it to allow my applications to work.

Thanks for the reply. That was one of the first things I checked, and it made no difference. I also tried the ASPNET account. It turns out that I had to give permission to the group "Users". That seems to have done it.

It's most likely a permission issue.

Check if ASPNET user has permission to write the .mdb file and the directory.

If you are using ASP, you need to see if IUSR has permission to those files.
