Server Error in '/please-god'
Application. Access to the path
'D:\Hosting\4423045\html\please-god\UploadedImages\3.jpg'
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:\Hosting\4423045\html\please-god\UploadedImages\3.jpg'
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) that is
used if the application is not
impersonating. If the application is
impersonating via , 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.

Best Answer

You have to make sure the IIS or the server running the website has permission to write to that directory. You could do this by selecting that folder -> Properties-> Security tab.

If that didn't help, you could recheck in the event log to find out with which account it tried to access it.
