Hi Rob,

Thank you for your kind response. Yes, I'm using W2K3 and .NET 2.0, and in the DNN web.config, I found this section under system.web:

I haven't tried it under the default DMX location. It's now under c:\DMX.

Sorry. There is a section in the web.config under system.web that says:  trust level="Medium" originUrl=".*"

Yes, my Windows installation is a default one, and I don't see any trust level definition in the machine.config, so I believe it's running under full trust.

Hi,

Sorry, I did not mean to be cryptic in my first response. In .NET 2, you actually have to look in the top level web.config file to see if the server is forced to be locked down globally. Look for web.config here:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG

    (This determines if an individual app can override the trust level set here, in its own web.config)
       
           
               
               
               
               
               
           
            <trust level="Medium" originUrl="" />
       
   

Anyway, it sounds like you are running in Full Trust if your DMX repository is in C:\DMX and not under the DNN folder structure. In which case, I agree with Peter, it is a networking issue. One point though, is you will need to stick with UNC paths, as a mapped drive will not work for the application pool service account.

If you were to switch to Medium Trust in the future, you would need to take other steps to allow DMX to access files outside of the DNN structure. My personal recommendation is you should be running in Medium Trust, in particular if this web site will be published on the Internet. Although, it does present other challenges.

I'm not sure what happened to a lot of the text I pasted in. Here it is again:
From global web.config in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG

(if true, individual web.config files can set trust level)

< SYSTEM.WEB>< BR>< SECURITYPOLICY>< BR>< TRUSTLEVEL name="Full" policyFile="internal" />< BR>< TRUSTLEVEL name="High" policyFile="web_hightrust.config" />< BR>< TRUSTLEVEL name="Medium" policyFile="web_mediumtrust.config" />< BR>< TRUSTLEVEL name="Low" policyFile="web_lowtrust.config" />< BR>< TRUSTLEVEL name="Minimal" policyFile="web_minimaltrust.config" />< BR>< /SECURITYPOLICY>< BR>< BR>< TRUST originUrl="" level="Medium" />(global trust level setting)< BR>< /SYSTEM.WEB>
