Connection string works from Visual Studio, but does not work from IIS

Question

I have developed a website in visual studio express for web 2013. The website pulls data from a SQLite database. This works fine in visual studio. Now I am trying to publish the website on a windows server 2008. I have setup IIS to launch the web site. However, when I launch the website from IIS, I get a Disk I/O error? The connnectionstring="datasource=C:....db;version=3;". Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Websites in IIS usually run under different account (LocalService). Grant permission to the file to the given account your website is running at. You can find/change the account for website in IIS -> Application pools -> select pool -> Advance Settings.
