I checked default Web Farm documentation for dotnetnuke and it does not say fresh things. Appearently it's quite old and needs to be updated.

Can someone with experience about webfarm installation assist me? Because currently i am receiving permission problems with Cache folder if i use UNC Share for Website.

 Access to the path '\\server05\portalkur\Portals\_default\Cache\CC2F19AEE440CA990E8E1AFCC397BFFD.resources' is denied.
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 '\\server05\portalkur\Portals\_default\Cache\CC2F19AEE440CA990E8E1AFCC397BFFD.resources' 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.

Hi,

I have a working web farm running on a UNC share. If memory serves, the error you are seeing is related to the .NET runtime security policy. Here's what I did:

• Open Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration
• Expand .NET 2.0 Configuration -> My Computer -> Runtime Security Policy -> Machine -> Code Groups -> All_Code
• Add a new code group with a URL membership condition where the URL is the path to your share (with * at the end)
• Set the permission set to Full Trust

Also, I had to make sure that the Application Pool for my DNN site ran as a user that had access to the share.

Hope this helps!

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.
