访问被拒绝以我的C＃WCF WebService写入文件

Question

I hosted a WCF web Service on my server Windows 2008 R2 . Everything works perfectly on my localhost project Visual Studio 2012 .

However, once deployed on my server. My application throws an exception when my WCF trying to save an XML file in the C:\\.

I immediately think it came from a permissions problem. I've tried adding rights in writings on the user IUSR but it changed nothing. I even tried to apply all the rights to the user "Everyone". But without success! An idea ? thanks

Here's screenshots of on the configuration of my project:

Code that throws the exception:

XmlTextWriter myXmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter("c:/world.xml", null);

Answer 1

Why are you saving to the root drive folder? What happens when you try and save to for example C:\\Stuff ?

If this isn't running as something like Network Service I would hazard a guess it's because of something like UAC which will prevent you from writing to certain places considered restricted.
