Using FPSE2002 with .Net 1.1? permissions not compatible

[George Davey]

Does anyone have any idea how to set up a website that
uses front page server extensions, asp's and .net aspx
files.
The main problem I am having is that using the
applications certain files e.g. "web.config" for .net 1.1
and .mdb files for asp's need to be both Read and Write
permissions.
FPSE like to go and "fix" the permissions for me and if I
do a Front Page SE repair, it makes them all read only and
all the applications break, this happens each time the
Front page server extensions are fixed.
Is there a way to make a folder Front Page cannot "fix"
like _Private does for the outside
but not a virtual directory because then I will need to
give them FTP access to another folder. I want to use a
subfolder of the web they already have access to.
Also why can't they fix the permissions themselves,
because I see Front Page has a permissions function.

The problem is that to fix this I need to set up a batch
file to modify the permissions back for .net and FPSE each
time a person adds a file I need them to select the
permissions the want reset on that file and add that to
the batch file.

George,

Your ASP.NET process account should not have write access to the content.
Instead, it should have Read, List Folder Contents, and List. If you are
running code that writes to a database, you will need to grant Write access
to the database, but you should not give the account Write access to the
content root where web.config is.

The FPSE function that removes the permissions for the process account is
the "tighten security" option. Don't select that and the account should
remain. Alternatively, you can also grant the ASPNET account Browse
permission to the Web site, but that's a less reliable solution simply
because you may have assigned it greater permission to certain areas.
