访问.Net Core Web Api 2.1上的发布文件夹的文件夹

Question

I have .Net Core Web Api 2.1 services. I created a structure in my deployment folder like below. (I'm using IIS.) I want to access MyVariables.json from all services. But, it gave error

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\\wwwroot\\MyProject\\Shared\\MyVariables.json'.

But, there is that folder and file in that path. I'm trying by this code from my C# service.

using (StreamReader file =File.OpenText(@"../Shared/MyVariables.json"))
{
}

What can be the reason of this?

My publish folder design

-wwwroot
  -MyProject
     +Service1
     +Service2
     +Service3
     +Service4
     -Shared
        MyVariables.json

Answer 1

IIS runs with an identity that is configured in the App pool.

Directory access rights must be given to the identity used to run the App pool.

Start inetmgr.exe to configure IIS,find App Pool identity and then configure access in file explorer.
