I am new to ASP.net.  I have just purchased and installed InstantKB.Net on my W2003 server.  Due to security reasons, the "Everyone" account has been removed from the security settings on the hard drives, and all security is explicitly created.  The InstantKB.Net site is installed in a directory on the hard drive at c:\PCAShared\zHelpWebSite\KB.

As I try to access the site, I get "Server Error in "/KB" Application..  Access denied to "c:\PCAShared".  Failed to start monitoring file changes.

Currently, the IUSR account, Network service, and ASP.Net account have full rights to the KB folder which leave me a little worried for hacker reasons.

What do I need to do?  any help is appreciated.

First thing I would do is copy it into the C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/ directory and see if loads ok in there.. if it does then must be a folder permission issue.

The other thing I would check is your IIS Web Site settings... is the KB folder set in IIS as an application?

Thank you for your time, but I rsearched the microsoft documentation.  I found the document that talked about the NTFS rights that are required for ASPNet applications. 

After giving aspnet and network service users read writes to the parent folders, the site started working.

then I had to debug my sql connection, which I changed to a named user, and now it seems to be working.  YEAH!

Now, on to determine how to customize and put my logo and colors on the pages.

yea.. figured it was a permission issue... hence why I said to copy it into the wwwroot folder as that folder normally has the correct permissions set.
