Error when saving categories

I just installed ver 1.3 on GoDaddy WITHOUT sample data.  I have enabled specific error reporting instead of the generic error message.

Whenever I try to add a category it trips the following error page.  My public store front page also trips an error as a result of the category problem.  HELP!:


Server Error in '/store' Application.

It's not the error. You should give write access to the /images/thumbs directory.

Your analysis is correct.  I've fixed the problem and all is well--Thank You!

Hello
I ran into the same problem when I tried to save my newly created category - on IIS7/ASP.NET 4

I have navigated to
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AA\AAStore\Web\

And right click on folder "images" and "thumbs" (under images) to set permission, the popup dialog on this win2008 says:
"Read-only (only applies to files in folder)"

Seems Windows 2008 restrict my action to uncheck read-only to files (not folders) only.

As such I am still struggling with this problem.

I have already enabled "annonymous authentication" on my website - impersonated account = administrator account. But still no luck.

Any suggestion please?

I finally fixed this via configuring identity impersonation in web.config.

<identity impersonate="true" userName="contoso\Jane" password="pass"/>
