godaddy _db_backups folder

I managed to get mojoportal installed on godaddy.  Now, in admin mode when I edit a page, check show breadcrumbs and save changes.  The page returns an error denying access to _db_backups folder.  This is a folder installed by godaddy.  Can't delete or set permissions on it.  It must be a folder required by godaddy to allow backupp of dbs.  How do I fix this?  Or a workaround to bypass _db_backups folder operations?

Re: godaddy _db_backups folder

Hi,

There is nothing in mojoportal that does anything with a folder named _db_backups. mojoPortal doesn't even know about that folder so I don't see how mojoportal could be causing this error.

Best,

Joe

Re: godaddy _db_backups folder

Thanks for the reponse Joe.

Hmmm... this is interesting.  I installed mojoportal pretty much out of the box using the web.mediumtrust.config, granting write access to Data folder and its children, removed two dlls - OpenId and SqlLite.  DefaultSetup is now set to false.  I will look at it again.  Kind of odd if you ask me.

Re: godaddy _db_backups folder

I think we need to overload PopulatePagesCollection method and add a folder exclusion list to the parameters list.

Re: godaddy _db_backups folder

Hi Dave,

Yes its much clearer now what the problem is since you posted the error.

I forgot about this, we loop through existing files to make sure no virtual urls are created that would mask physical files. I hadn't thought about how common it may be for there to be folders in the root that we don't have read permission on.

I'm fixing this right now in my local copy by catching UnAuthorizedAccessException and SecurityException in places where this could happen as indicated by the error message.

It will be fixed in svn trunk by tonight and will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks,

Joe
