The installation was going fine though it is much more complicated than it needs to be. There is such a thing as an installer and a wizard and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordpress.org\/\">WordPress<\/a> can do a 5 minute install, come on people. Anyway, heres the security situation&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is a AD user called <i>IUSR_foo<\/i> that is in the IIS_WPG group&#8230; so it should be allowed to run ASP.NET 2.0.<\/li>\n<li>That user is the identity for an IIS application pool named <i>foo<\/i>, thus allowing me to isolate that website<\/li>\n<li>The actual <i>www.foo.com<\/i> site lives in the <i>foo<\/i> application pool<\/li>\n<li>The security settings for <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foo.com\/\">www.foo.com<\/a><\/i> are such that anonymous users run under the <i>IUSR_foo<\/i> user account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sounds fine right? I thought so too&#8230; but no&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The current identity (<i>IUSR_froo<\/i>) does not have write access to &#8216;C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files&#8217;. 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now that sucks, Hard. So I look around, trying to figure out the &#8220;right&#8221; way to solve this. I could just grant IIS_WPG access to that temp directory, but who knows what is is broken. Fortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.micahvaline.com\/blog\/archives\/2005\/11\/current_identity_permission_pr.html\">I came across this post on Micah&#8217;s Blog<\/a> that pointed me right. The answer? Go to the directory that the .NET framework in question uses and then&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>aspnet_regiis -ga &#8220;<i>IUSR_foo<\/i>&#8220;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That seemed to do it. So hopefully it&#8217;s right. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I was installing some stuff for a client under ASP.NET 2.0 and IIS in Windows Server 2003.
