[johnfraj]

I have a dedicated server installed with windows 2003 operating system. Now when we tried to host the asp.net application developed using .net 2.0 on the .net 1.1.432 i have got the following error. After changing all the options as instructed to me by the msdn site, i landed into this error, icould not solve the same.

Can someone help me out.

You need to give read permissions to the ASPNET user for the C:\Inetpub\vhosts\maxval-ip.com\subdomains\test\ folder

I had the same problem with a W2k3 ent server and adding the asp.net account didn't work. Windows 2003 uses the Network Service account instead of the ASP.NET account. I just added the Network Service account to x:\wwwroot and it worked.
