IIS5 versus II6 - ProcessStartInfo

I have a website that launches an .exe to perform some processing (creating
files etc - into the users folder - which is a folder that is created on
Page_Load based on the user's session id).

When running on Win2k IIS5 - everything works fine.
Same files - this web application doesn't work on 2003 Server IIS6.

There are no error messages and I have try/catches everywhere, but no such
luck. I do know that if I create a log file right before I try to Start()
the process I do make it to that point, but nothing afterwards.

The only error message in the event log is the EventID 5 ASP: (this get's
logged everytime I click the button to perform this task)

Error: The Template Persistent Cache initialization failed for Application
Pool 'DefaultAppPool' because of the following error: Could not create a
Disk Cache Sub-directory for the Application Pool. The data may have
additional error codes..


Does anyone have any suggestions? - I was thinking that modifying the IIS
properties to run within IIS5 isolation - but then I got all kinds of
permission errors due to the aspnet_wp service (login acct) not having
rights to the .NET files - so I'm not sure if that's the right direction or
not.

any help would be greatly appreciated..

Hi,

two things you should confirm,
1] Web Site Properties > home dir tab > execute permissions check that its
set to Scripts and executables.

2] and check the permission on executable files, if its running under
default application pool then Network service User mush have execute
permission on it.

also try to changing the identity of appliction pool from network service
to System.
