Access to theme.skin denied

Hi, I've just installed and setup mojo portal for postgres on my XP system. It appears that the user authentication works, but I get an error trying to access theme.skin (See below.) I've tried all sorts of things, such as setting permissions, setting the trust to low, and making accessible to all actions (read, write, directory browsing, etc.) Nothing seems to work here. Can someone help? Server Error in '/mojoPortal' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Access to the path 'C:\mojoportal\pgsqlreleasefiles\web\Data\Sites\1\skins\centered1\theme.skin' is denied. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\mojoportal\pgsqlreleasefiles\web\Data\Sites\1\skins\centered1\theme.skin' is denied. ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via [identity impersonate="true"/], the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user. To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access. Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request.

Re: Access to theme.skin denied

Sorry for the double post and the whacky formatting. I did use whitespace and decent formatting here, but it appears not to have taken.

Re: Access to theme.skin denied

You need to make the Data folder beneath the root of the web writable by the aspnet worker process.
Right click the Data folder in Windows Explorer and go to Properties > security tab. (If you don't see a security tab, then google about xp, simple file security or simple file sharing). If ASP.NET Machine account is listed, give it full control. If its not listed, then click Add..>Advanced..> Find Now and add it then give it full permission.

Setting the Trust level to low makes security so tight mojoportal will not work. On your xp machine you should leave the trust level entry of web.config commented out so you run in Full trust.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Access to theme.skin denied

Thanks Joe, that fixed it. It was the simple file sharing setting that threw me. Thanks for your help.
