Hi,
We have a large file/directory structure with existing NTFS permissions, currently used for file services. We received a request to make files accessible through HTTP, so IIS is the first choice.
I created a virtual directory, set authentication to Windows Authentication and allowed directory browsing.
First problem was that the web.config in the root. I gave IIS_IUSRS R/W permissions, and that problem was solved. I could browse the root directory. But as soon as I try a subdirectory, there's a runtime error:
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. Parser Error Message: An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to 'D:\subdir\web.config' because access is denied.
Will IIS require to create a web.config in each and every subdirectory, or do I still need to set some permissions or configure something else?
Thanks.
