A very persistant Access To Path Denied Error

[Mohammad Ali via DotNetMonster.com]

Hi Guys,

I'm stuck with a terribly persistant "Access to the path *** is denied"
problem. I'm trying to upload a foile using the file control. The code
checks if a file of the same name as uploaded exists and if so, attempts to
delete the file and then uploads the new file.

Dim myFile As File

If myFile.Exists(Server.MapPath("..\photos\family\stu dent\" &
Session("ChildId") & ".jpg")) Then

myFile.Delete(Server.MapPath("..\photos\family\stu dent\" &
Session("ChildId") & ".jpg")) ' exception thrown here

End If

file1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("..\photos\ family\
student\" & Session("ChildId") & ".jpg"))




However I keep getting the following error "Access to path ** is denied"

I've given ASP.NET all complete access to the folder where the file is to
be uploaded. I've even turned on impersonation in the webconfig file and it
still doesn't work. It makes no sense. I've tried everything an still no
luck. Any code snippets or suggetsions for this problem would be highly
appreciated.

Either your application doesn't have write permissions or your application
(or someother application) is holding a lock on the file. If you don't have
the perms then enable that directory for write access to the user that your
ASP.NET app is running as. This is either the local ASPNET account on W2K
or the Network Service account on W2K3. If it's not this, then some application
has a lock on the file on the filesystem. From the other parts of your application
are you making sure to call Close or Dispose on all APIs that use the file?

This would be my advise also. Check all the applications that access that
file and make sure Close is called on all readers and writers! Then I would
restart the computer (if close was not called, then restarting the computer
would clear the lock) and try it again. HTH
