I'm close.. but not there yet..
I deployed the software to my Arvixe site...
placed it in a subdirectory '/thisisatest'....
Created a virtual directory that points to this path....
Removed the references to the connectionstrings to my deployed web.config...
Webbrowsed to my site.
Recieved the installation wizard.. followed wizard... That seemed to work...
Connected as the admin and then went to the admin pages...
Went to the Maitenance tab.
Selected "Back Up Database"
It fails.
The error (from the log) says:
Cannot open backup device 'C:\HostingSpaces\xxxxx\xxxxxx.com\wwwroot\thisisatest\Administration\backups\database_2011-02-08-23-45-51_2637.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.). BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I assume I'm missing someting obvious. How would I give NETWORK_SERVICE permission to read/write to my directories? I did check "Enable Write Permissions" and "Enable Parent Paths" checked on my virtual directory. (But I'm not sure to whom I gave permissions to.)
Anyone know what I am missing?
Thanks
Rob
