Question

I have a .xml file in my App_Data folder, I can access it fine in my localhost, however after uploading it to my webhost I got the following:

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 , 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.

So who should I grant access to read? There’s 3 user in my web host and all seems to have read access set to them.. one is NETWORK_SERVICE, IUSR_MACHINENAME and my user. So what is wrong?
