SQLite Access is denied - works local but not public

Question

when i access my ASP.Net IIS site (W2K3) from i get the following error:

SQLite error Access is denied.

[SQLiteException (0x80004005): SQLite error Access is denied.]

It happens when i call:

Object retVal = new System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteCommand("SELECT load_extension('libspatialite-4.dll');", conn).ExecuteScalar();

When i use Visual Studio all works perfectly.

So in that case i can rule out any dll problems. All non-spatial SQLIte queries work fine from IIS and Visual Studio too.

I'm sure i have to set a permission setting somewhere, but where and what user.

Answer 1

It sounds like the Spatiallite folder is in your path and not in the system path. Also double check the user ID that is used for IIS. It could be different from ASP.NET.

If that doesn't work try monitoring on the server with process monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 Watch for the permission denied error and you should be headed down the right path.
