XML

Access to the path 'D:\INETPUB\VHOSTS\softmarvel.com\site1\Member_Pic\12.png' is denied.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\INETPUB\VHOSTS\softmarvel.com\site1\Member_Pic\12.png' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6 and IIS 7, and the configured application pool identity on IIS 7.5) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Read the Last paragraph of your error Message.
The error is due to the access rights, You are not authorized to use that resource or Image(in this case).

Could you show some more of your code?

if (picupload.PostedFile != null && picupload.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0)
{

string cat_pic = picupload.PostedFile.FileName;
string ex_pic = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(cat_pic).ToLower();
string picname = Convert.ToString(mid) + ex_pic;
string dir_path = "Member_Pic";
string save_path = "Member_Pic\\" + picname;
string db_path = "~\\Member_Pic\\" + picname;
server_path = Server.MapPath(save_path);

picupload.SaveAs(server_path);

Try Something like this

if (picupload.PostedFile != null && picupload.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0)
{
string cat_pic = picupload.PostedFile.FileName;
string ex_pic = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(cat_pic).ToLower();
string picname = Convert.ToString(mid) + ex_pic;
string dir_path = "Member_Pic";
string save_path = "Member_Pic\\" + picname;
string db_path = "~\\Member_Pic\\" + picname;
server_path = Server.MapPath(@"~\Menmber_Pic\")+picname; //CHANGES

picupload.SaveAs(server_path);
}

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path

Zafar Sultan · Answer 5 · 2013-01-17T21:39:00

I am assuming that you have hosted your website on a shared server. If that is the case, the folder(Member_Pic) has to be given read/write permission as the error clearly says that. Generally, you can do that by using the control panel given to you by your service provider. Also, try contacting customer services, they might do it for you.

Hi ! there would be only two reason for this:

1- First which is told by Zafar Sultan   Give read/write permission to your image folder.
2- Our this path is not exist on your server D:\INETPUB\VHOSTS\softmarvel.com\site1\Member_Pic\12.png'

Please check that, I hope this will solve your issue.
