System.IO.IOException: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

[Chad Crowder]

Getting the following error on my production server whether the file exists
or not:

"System.IO.IOException: Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Here's the code generating the error (seems to be happening when I try
creating a directory)

If dirmgr.Exists("s:\blah\" & txt_name.Text) Then
lblerror.Text = lblerror.Text & "Unable to build physical path. " &
txt_name.Text & " & Contact Dev Team.<BR>"
Else
dirmgr.CreateDirectory("s:\blah\" & txt_name.Text)

This code runs fine on my development server (only the path is c:\blah\blah
instead of S). Also, my production server has failover cluser, and the s
drive is the failover drive. I can't imagine that could be a problem, but
thought I would mention it.

Asside from that, the only other thing I can think of is that the framework
version on my dev box says 1.1, and the one on my production server says:
1.0.37 - surely that's not the cause is it? Permissions shouldn't be an
issue (i've even tried as domain admin)

I would appreciate any help on this, as I'm out of ideas, and can find no
other documentation on this.

I agree with Natty. The problem you are having is most likely caused by
having no right to access network resources. Willy address a similar
problem before. See

Thanks for the response.

I understand that, but I'm trying to create a directory on the local drive.
This isn't a mapped share. The drive is physically present on the web
server, and if that web server fails, the other system physically takes over
the drive (ie, a cluster). I've also added the local ASPNET account to the
NTFS permissions on the folder, and it still fails.

It doesn't work creating folders under the same directory as the web
application... same issue.

I'm going to try figuring out why that server is showing that it's running
version 1.03 of the dotnet framework. It shows that v1.1 was installed.

Thanks,
Chad
