web server Microsoft Windows Server 2019 DataCenter version 10.0.17763

there is a physical folder on the d drive folder1 --app1 --app2 --app3 --web.config

folder 1 is set up as a web application in iis. (mywebsite) its app pool is v4.0 classic Application pool Identity

there is a requirement to put another folder / application under this website. mywebsite.folder2 there is also a requirement that this application run under an app pool with a non admin service account (myservice account)

I created folder2 containing this .net web application

I created a virtual Directory on mywebsite pointing to folder 2. I created an app pool for this website running as the non admin service account (the application never runs and never gives an error) If I switch the app pool to run as an admin account everything works fine.

Any thoughts what permissions / rights I need to give the non admin service account? or where I can find an actual error (I searched through the event logs and found nothing)

  1. make sure the account running the application pool for mywebsite.folder2 has at least Read access to it's home directory (the c:..\ folder it points to)

  2. view/edit/enable the IIS logging directory as per https://theitbros.com/configure-iis-log-location-on-windows-server-2016/ a) Open IIS Manager (on the server hosting the website) b) Single-click the name of the server in the left pane c) Double-click 'Logging' in the right pane
