Is this error caused by the restriction of a medium trust environment not allowing the core to modify the web.config file?  I am attemping to install a module through DNN and get this failure notice.  Researching the information I think this is a security permission error of not allowing the Network Services Account (win2k3 Server) of the hosting company have access to the web.config file.  What can be done to remove this error in medium trust?  Also, what is the core writing to the web.config file for?  The module I am installing does not write to the web.config file, so what is (my guess is the core)?

Failure ExceptionSystem.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:\hosting\mytestsite\web.config' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize) at System.IO.File.OpenFile(String path, FileAccess access, SafeFileHandle& handle) at System.IO.File.SetLastWriteTimeUtc(String path, DateTime lastWriteTimeUtc) at System.IO.File.SetLastWriteTime(String path, DateTime lastWriteTime) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.Config.Touch() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstaller_V3.UpgradeModule(DesktopModuleInfo ModuleInfo) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.RegisterModules(PaFolder Folder, ArrayList Modules, ArrayList Controls) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.Install(PaFolderCollection folders) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.Install()

Any help wins you 15 bonus points and two tickets.

TIA.

I come to find out that GoDaddy does not allow DNN core to write to the web.config file.  When the BusinessControllerClass is used a write attempt is made to the web.config file.  Since GoDaddy does not give you permission to change this file and makes it read only, you are out of luck.  The module will not install.

Anyone have any ideas on how to change permissions on the web.config file that resides in your virtual directory when dealing with GoDaddy.  I have spent countless hours working with GoDaddy to get them to understand the issue and change the permission on the web.config file that is in "My" virtual directory.  No luck. 

Also, trying to move my content off of GoDaddy is no luck either.  Database can not be backed up and exporting it to some meaningful format to upload on another hosting provider is not feasable at this time.

I am dead in the water.  Can somone suggest somthing please?

If you install it in a virtual directory with the correct permissions it should install correctly. You just can't install DotNetNuke in the web root directory.

 I moved a site off Godaddy on databasemart.com. I just upload the backup of my db on the site and ask the support to restore it. It is been restored very quickly and my site was up and running in less than 2 hours.

The site is running fluently and respond to web request very quickly. I am impressed. I will definitevely move my other sites off godaddy. I will just keep godaddy to manage my domains.
