Server Error in '/' Application. Access to the path 'G:\PleskVhosts\rstechnopoint.com\fitness-first.rstechnopoint.com\images_1EP017.jpg' 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 'G:\PleskVhosts\rstechnopoint.com\fitness-first.rstechnopoint.com\images_1EP017.jpg' 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 , 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 File 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.

Solution

  • In my experience Plesk panel is far less advanced than the PHP cPanel. As far as I know it does not allow you to change folder permissions on your own, your hosting company should have a tech help chat/email, you can send them a message

    There you go: this is very basic though :/
