    I cannot open my website for business until the following problem is resolved:

    Anonomous has Read/Write to the folder and all subfolders and files, yet no sub-folders or files can be created.

    namely:
    Could not find a part of the path: c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\ where the website's root: "c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\" is picked up in dotnet on application_start at DiscountAsp.

    Support says it is an application error so post to this ng.

    The code that works here, getting the correct folder, does notget the correct folderat DiscountAsp.

    Any help resolving this is greatly appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    Based on this error, your application is trying to write to c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\which is the IIS system directory and customer do not have write access to this directory.

    You need to look in your application and change the path to somewhere within your website.

    The best way to do that is to use server.mappath function. eg.

    server.mappath("/") should return the site root's physical path.
