I have had problems uploading pictures in the gallery. The error at this point is irrelevant because I am 99% sure that I found out what the problem is.

Regardless, I was also having trouble uploading any new modules and was getting the error that there's no more space on the hard drive (there's plenty ... 10 GB).

After some research I actually think that this might have been caused by the fact that on Win 2k3 you can configure a disk quota for accounts on each drive ... and the Network Service account has busted its quota on the disk the site is residing on ... this might be the cause of the problem.

I changed the account for the app pool for the DNN site but now I am having a different problem that is preventing me to test this theory ...

I can't login into the DNN site consistently anymore.

If I get to the home page as anonymous and try to log in, the home page refreshes and shows me as still logged out. If I try to hit "refresh" on the browser the site shows me as logged in. Clicking on different links shows me randomly as logged in or out.

Clicking on "setup" pages for modules or the site brings up the top navigation of the site showing me as logged in but then the inside of the module displays the login/password form (the module thinks i am not logged in).

Refreshing constantly the page eventually yields the configuration page but trying to change anything is useless ... nothing happens and the page bounces me back to the login/password form.

Obviously there's a problem with cookies.

The new account has all the security policy settings (in the security policy snap-in) that Network Service has. It also has write access to the DNN site folder. It also has write access to the c:/windows/temp folder (it was bombing before saying that it was trying to create class files in the temp folder and it didn't have access).

What else do I need to do to this account to make sure that it writes cookies properly? (I am assuming that the problem is that the account doesn't have proper permissions .. I am missing something somewhere else and that this is a cookie problem ... probably reading them more than writing them).

Any help is appreciated ... I am almost there! After this I will be on track!

The cookie problem is definetly caused by the fact that I switched the app pool from using the Network Service account to a custom account.

I switched back to using the Network Service account and the site is running fine but the general policy on this server is to have each site on its own account (for drive space allocation purposes). Thus this is only a temporary solution.

If anyone has any idea as to why the App Pool account the site is running under has anything to do with writing or reading cookies, please let me know. I need to solve this (eventually) and I can't really imagine why switching App Pool account would have any bearing whatsoever on the sessions or cookies.

Thank you!

PS: in the mean while if you want to check my site and what it looks like ...
