IIS iusr account & app_data folder
Hi,
I'm trying to deploy an Orchard CMS app to appharbor, but it
looks as if the IIS user account cannot access my app's App_Data
folder.
I'm not sure why Orchard needs write access to the App_Data folder
from IIS , but it seems as if it does.
See a similar discussion on the problem here : http://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/245882/
Is this done by design (i.e. you are purposefully locking down access to the app folder from IIS) ?
The specific file is : System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\websites\96\2696\b8ea332bff761467eb0d8da9dd35aaa59f1fa6c6_PublishedWebsites\WebMatrixWebsite\App_Data\Dependencies\Joel.Net.Akismet.dll' is denied.
Cheers,
Ben

That's strange. I've just confirmed that your IIS app-pool identity has write-access to App_Data (as designed) and to the file in question. We'll investigate further.

Thanks Michael,
If it helps, the source code for the orchard class thats blowing up is : http://orchard.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/fe55d6737a...

Oho, looks like Orchard needs to delete files too. I'll look at adding that file system right.
Could I get you to invite support(a)appharbor.com as a collaborator on your project so that I can test with your exact code?

Done !

One workaround you can use right now, is to delete dll's from the App_Data\Dependencies folder so that they won't be pushed with the code. That means Orchard won't fail when trying to delete the dll's (to make room for them again).
We'll also look at adding delete rights to the App_Data folder.
