Question : Access is denied in IIS7

I have a question and hopefully somebody can assist me on this. I have a website (virtual directory off the default web site). I have the DefaultAppPool assigned to the Default Web Site which in turn assigns to my virtual directory.

When I try to access the site with a URL pointing to my local machine and the location of the virtual directory I get this:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Now, the thing is I have and confirmed that the NETWORK SERVICES account has the appropriate permission to the Temporary ASP Files\root.... folder. The DefaultAppPool has the NETWORK SERVICE as the default.

NOTE: When I open the .SLN for the web site in Visual Studio 2005 it opens just fine. When I debug in VS 2005, everything works just fine. However, when I create a virtual directory with the physical path to directory where the .sln is at and I try to access the site from the browser I get the above error.

Anybody have any ideas? You're assistance would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Answer : Access is denied in IIS7

Maybe you just imagined it?

I was helping someone with a question about domain names and DNS then I had a dream that I was queryinga DNS server but the DNS server was two women who I had to go and talk to  - very weird.  Anyway maybe you had a dream too and got it nixed up with real life?
