Alright, one of my portals simply comes up with an error message when I try to access it. It doesn't tell me what the error was(though I suspect it was caused by the most recent module I uploaded), it just says that an error has occurred and I can't access the page.

I haven't done anything important on this portal yet, I've just been using it to test stuff mostly. So I was just going to delete the portal. To do that, I logged into one of my other portals and selected "Portals" from the host tab/menu. I then clicked the "X' and "OK" that I was sure I wanted to delete it. Here's the message I got:



Error: Portals is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Access to the path 'E:\kunden\homepages\4\d193083900\logs' is denied. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E:\kunden\homepages\4\d193083900\logs' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String path, String userPathOriginal, String searchPattern, Boolean includeFiles, Boolean includeDirs, SearchOption searchOption) at System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(String path, String searchPattern, SearchOption searchOption) at System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(String path) at DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.DeleteFilesRecursive(String strRoot, String filter) at DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.DeleteFilesRecursive(String strRoot, String filter) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.DeletePortal(PortalInfo portal, String serverPath) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Portals.Portals.grdPortals_DeleteCommand(Object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---


What do I need to do?

The error you are getting is due to the ASP.NET worker process not having access to the specified path.  If you grant access to the process for the listed path you should be able to get past the error.

Personally I have not heard of a host being concerned about the security risk.......I'd switch to a different host.
