IIS - Access to the path is denied

Question

This question have been asked like million times, but I have tried those solutions and still can\'t find out why this error is coming up:

Access to the path \'\\serv

Answer 1

If anonymous authentication is enabled on your server set read permissions for the IUSR account. To allow access for the application pool identities set read permissions for IIS_USERS group. For UNC-path sure that there are relevant permission for your shared folder (see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc726004(v=ws.11).aspx for details).

Answer 2

For my case, I went to the root folder of my project, right clicked on it and opened the properties window and unchecked the Read-only attribute. After clicking OK, all started working.

Answer 3

try this:

"Access to the path 'xxxxxx' is denied."

As Error says You need to assign Permissions to Folders

1. Right Click Folder
2. Go to Security Tab
3. Click on Edit
4. Click on Add
5. Click on Addvance
6. Find Now
7. Give Permission to IIS_IUSRS (Full Control)
8. Click On OK
9. Click On OK
10. Click On Full Control in allow
11. Click On OK
12. Again Run the Application

Note: If Above things are not working then try to give same permission to NETWORK,NETWORK SERVICE Users
