Server Error in '/' Application. 
I am trying to reach some aspx pages on a website which is written
mostly in ASP 3.0. I installed the .net framework (I get the same
error message for both 1.0 and 1.1), however, when I try to reach the
aspx page, I get the following error. (error description is below)
I read the msdn article, which suggests it migth be an issue of not
giving appropriate rights to the folder, but the folder is a virtual
directory and Everyone has read access to it (asp 3.0 works fine
anyway). Any insights into what setting I need to fix to get it to
work?

Error Description:

Server cannot access application directory
'D:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyVirtualDirectory\'. The directory does not exist
or is not accessible because of security settings.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Have you set the virtual directory up as an application in IIS?

Hi, 
Actually, I just solved the problem. (The answer to your question was:
Yes, it was set up as an application). The problem was that the user
Everyone must be given read access to the folder. What was suggested
in the msdn answer (according to which, you could give certain rights
to "[machinename]/ASPNET" user if user "Everyone" was not given read
rights) simply did not work.
Thank you for your prompt interest.
