Problem : Authorization: Cannot verify access to path (C:\Projects\projectName)
Hi,
I have Vista Ultimate in My laptop. I have IIS 7.0 in it. I wish to run ASP site in it.
While creating a site There is a Test button if we test configuration by clicking on that site I get the error message
Authorization: Cannot verify access to path (C:\Projects\projectName)
The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in
account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot
verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the
application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this
server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is
NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$ has
Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.
This is a standalone machine. The default web is showing up fine and Network
Service and System both have ACL access to the path.
And When I try to run the asp site I get the error message
HTTP Error 404.3 – Not Found
Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
Solution : Authorization: Cannot verify access to path (C:\Projects\projectName)
As your error message suggest, from IIS 6.0 onwards, your IIS application pool identity plays an important role.
Launch IIS manager, find out the application pool running your application.
Find out the identity of the application pool, change it to a appropriate windows/domain account with access to your folders.
