Portal permission problems 

Hi, I'm trying to configure a child portal on a hosted DNN 4.8.0 installation and getting error messages which indicate adequate permssions are not set. I've triedadding write permission for ASPNET but it makes no difference.  Similar errors occur while attempting to install skins. I'd done both before with no problems 

Error configuring Child PortalAccess to the path 'd:\hosting\member\jeffmowatt\p-ced.com\meetingpoint2' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path, DirectorySecurity dirSecurity) at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path, DirectorySecurity directorySecurity) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.CreatePortal(String PortalName, String FirstName, String LastName, String Username, String Password, String Email, String Description, String KeyWords, String TemplatePath, String TemplateFile, String HomeDirectory, String PortalAlias, String ServerPath, String ChildPath, Boolean IsChildPortal)

The portal is created nevertheless, but the following error message is displayed upon editing to add an http alias

Error: Site Settings is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings.GetSiteSettings(Int32 PortalId) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.PortalManagement.SiteSettings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace

My hosting provider doesn't seem to be able to help. Perhaps someone here can advise?

Re: Portal permission problems 

Jeff,

If you are hosting on Windows 2003 server you need to add permissions for the NETWORK SERVICE account. The ASPNET account is for XP.

Re: Portal permission problems 

One thing to note here is that in SOME remote hosted instances the NETWORK SERVICE account is NOT truly the account you need to grant permissions to, in shared hosting environments where each client has their own app pool and other setups, hosting companies can and do create different accounts and use them as the running account for your site.
