UnauthorizedAccessException for static files when using IIS










0















I am developing a web application using ASP.Net core MVC. Initially to get started I manually copied the bootstrap and jQuery directly under wwwroot/lib folder. This worked fine.



To make the code maintainable, I thought it would be better to use client side library manager like libman.
This is what I have got in libman.json







"version": "1.0",
"defaultProvider": "unpkg",
"libraries": [

"library": "bootstrap@4.1.3",
"destination": "wwwroot/lib/bootstrap/"
,

"provider": "cdnjs",
"library": "jquery@3.3.1",
"destination": "wwwroot/lib/jquery/"

]





When I restore the client side library, I can see the files correctly restored under lib folder





Now when I compile and test the app locally using IIS, I am getting 500 error in developer tools while fetching bootstrap.css, jquery.js and bootstrap.js



When I tried to load bootstrap.css directly, I get 500 and message that access to the file is denied



UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:codewwwrootlibbootstrapdistcssbootstrap.css' is denied.


Any thoughts what would be causing this error?

    The IIS app pool account user needs to have access to the files. Check the file permissions.

  • Thanks Poke. When I add the files manually they work fine. This problem only occurs when I remove the manually added files and use restore client libraries which then adds the file files and compiles the css file at build time.

  • I checked the permission and the application pool account has the permission on css folder

  • ah...strange. Even through at folder level it is showing that these permissions applies to folders, subfolders and files, the files itself dont have the permissions. Thanks poke. I will investigate
