    We move our site to a testing server and now we are unable to upload controls to the toolbox. When we try to upload a new control we get 'access denied to sitename\web.config' and the file has the same ID's and permission to it as my development server. What could I be missing on this server?

    Hello NuToSitefinity,

    Most probably the account that you use to run the ASP.NET process does not have write permissions over the web.config file. When you upload a new control this writes a new line inside <toolboxControls> in the web.config. Please check the account under which you run your application pool and make sure that it has proper permissions over the website.

    Best wishes,

    'D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webSite\fyabn5vk.tmp' is denied. (D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webSite\web.config)


    and the folder has the same permissions as it does on my development server

    Hi NuToSitefinity,

    This is a general ASP.NET error related to inefficient permissions. Since this works fine on the other machine you have, the problem is in the permissions set over the new host and the process that runs ASP.NET. This applies to each other web application - reading and writing XML files .

    All the best,
