Hi Guys,
I've been struggling for the past few weeks on and off trying to connect my laptop with my desktop computer running iis. Let me elaborate a little bit.
I have a desktop computer at my home connected to a router. Lets call this computer #1. Computer #1 has an internal hard drive which is assigned a drive letter of "Z", which holds all of my web applications.
Now here's my problem. I have my laptop, which is connected to my network wirelessly. I have a mapped drive on my laptop to computer #1, "Z" drive. All of this is fine. I can connect to Z drive on computer #1 with no problem via windows explorer.
I am running a local instance of iis on my laptop, and pointing the website folder to my network drive on computer #1. I'm not doing this "Z:\Web Sites\My Web Site", and doing it like this \Computer1\Z\Web Sites\My Web Site". I have went to the security tab on the "Z" drive on computer #1 and added permissions for IUSR, DefaultAppPool, and IIS_IUSRS. All of which have full permission.
When I go in to my website on my laptop in IIS Manager it is using DefaultAppPool. I'm not sure why it does not work. I just keep getting this error no matter what i try.
"Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions"
Please Help! Thanks
