Strange error - Permissions and web.config?

I've added additional security to a sub folder in a web site where the user must provide a User ID and PWD to access a certain folder. It's not allowing anonymous access to the folder as designed.

Here is the folder: http://www.drpt.virginia.gov/ftp/blabaugh/

And the UID and PWD is both "labaugh-user".

Check out the error message once you log in. I've never seen that before. Any ideas? I searched this forum but didn't have any luck finding the solution.

"Server Error in '/' Application.
------------------------

Access denied to 'E:\websites\drpt2004\ftp\blabaugh\web.config'. Failed to start monitoring file changes. "

HUH?

Thanks!after googling a bit, it seems you should look at your authentication. Are you using impersonation? Does the ASPNET account have permissions to the directory you application resides in?

Not doing any impersonation but that article helped. I added ASPNET account and it fixed it. Thanks!

Strange error, fixed my adding/removing custom error page and web.config?!

Whilst working on my ASP.NET project, I have been encountering this rather strange error.

It seems that sometimes my page will break, and to fix it, ie make it load at least, i have to upload my custom error page and web.config file to the server, or remove them if they are there!

Why is this happening? and how can i possibly fix the problem so i can concentrate on making the main project work.

thankyou in advance.

Hi Mr_pablo,

Based on my understanding, your web application runs in the server. Sometimes, there are something wrong with your application about custom error page and web.config. If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

To better understand your issue, could you please provide more detail information about the issue. For example:

When a page broke, what is happened in the server? Does it show a custom error page or something?
