If you try to install DigiOz .NET Portal on a Shared Web Hosting Account, from time to time you may see the following exception:
Code:
The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
To resolve this, simply add the following line to your "<system.web" section of your web.config file:
<trust level="Full" />
If your Web Host however has locked the permissions at the root level, you will see the following error:
Code:
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the site administrator has locked access to this section using <location allowOverride="false"> from an inherited configuration file.
If this is the case you would have no choice but to contact the webhost and ask them to lift the restriction. Occasionally they won't lift this restriction, in which case you have no choice but to either move on to a different web host or choose a different portal software.
Thanks,
Pete
