I've set things up according to the instructions. Everything builds fine. No database errors. When I attempt to navigate to http://localhost/thephile I receive the below "security" error. I've tried everything suggested in the install instructions to troubleshoot. Any help will be appreciated.

========================

Server cannot access application directory 'C:\wrox\ThePhile\'. The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings.

HI
I have the same problem.
Is there no one here that can help whith this problem.

one possibility:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;825789

others:

Did you set up that folder as a virtual directory in IIS? This is done automatically by VS when you create a new web app, but you didn't create this as a new app, so you have to set it up as a virtual directory yourself.

Does your ASPNET account have NTFS permissions on that folder?

Interesting result from your suggestion:

Server Error in '/ThePhile' Application.

The registry error is a different issue. Read the notes that came in the code download. Your aspnet user account doesn't have permission to create a new event source.
