Hi all,

Got this error when trying to install DNN on a windows 2003 Server Web Edition with Parallels Plesk Panel installed:

<--
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\be-open.be\httpdocs\\DotNetNuke.config' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

I granted access to the folder to "ASPNET" but it still failed afterwards... can someone please help on this issue or give a "best practice" on installing DNN with my config?

Tx in advance!

Tx Erik,

I already tried installing DNN on another directory but it brings other problems indeed... redirecting with Plesk to something not under httpdocs can be really painful!

I think  reinstalling my server without Plesk  will be the best solution.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your very quick answer!
