microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.webservices

can't create directory from web service

Marc Pensa

9/3/2003 9:50:00 PM

Using the Directory object I issue a createdirectory
command and get an exception:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a
part of the path "V:\".

I get this error whether I use UNC or drive mapping. I
started getting this error once I deployed the webservice
to my server. It works fine when running locally.

Any help??

Thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi Marc,

By default, the Aspnet_wp.exe process runs under a computer account named
ASPNET. However, this account does not have the required privileges to
create directory on a remote server. So you may do impersonation before
creating the directory. Here is an article about how to impersonate in
ASP.NET. Please check it for your reference.

INFO: Implementing Impersonation in an ASP.NET Application
http://support.microsoft.com/...


Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks

Best regards,
Lewis

Hi Marc,

Based on the description, it's difficult to find where the problem is. To
work out this issue, I need to know more information.

1. Can you create directory using the UNC path from the server?
2. Would you please tell me how you set the privilege for the web service?
3. How do you configure the IIS, web.config and machine.config?
Thanks.

Lewis

| Thanks for responding. We set our web services to run under a domain

|
| Could there be something else interferring? When the error message

| \\serername\share and doesn't mention the rest of the path or if I use
| the drive letter that is mapped to the above it shows just the drive
| letter in the error message.
|
| It seems I can't get to this share.
|
| Would using directoryinfo or the one of the file objects work
| differently?
|
| Thanks,
| Marc

1. No I cannot get the code to work using either UNC and
the share nor a drive letter mapped to the share.

2. I set security by changing the machine config file in
the framework directory to use a standard service user id
which has domain auth.

3. I am not sure what you want here. After creating the
virtual directory for the web service, I set the anonymous
user id to the same service account mentioned above. I do
not modify the web config file unless I may change it to
display detailerd asp error messages on remote machines.
After fixing the problem I always reset this.

With additional testing I have found a work around. If I
access the target folder using UNC and the actual drive
share for admin access "E$" it works fine. The share I
am referrencing exists on this drive. Why would the admin
share (drive letter plus $) work when the other share
doesn't?

Thanks,
Marc
