VDS throwing Access is Denied

Hi All,

For our new project purpose, VDS is
freshly installed and when I configured new configuration and saved anything it
is throwing error as below screenshot.

In order to eliminate the above
error,

I checked in installation files
there I found a file named, .vdssettings file I renamed it to vdssettings and
saved.

After that this error is not coming.

      Hello Jaya - the screenshot is not very clear - could you upload a newer version which clearly shows the error.

      Best regards,

      Hello Kumar,

      I guess your installation files are on a Windows Server? Can you start VDS as Administrator (right click on VDS startup link/exe -> Run as Administrator).

      Cheers

      As Norman says, this is most likely a windows related issue.  Please check that your account has permission to write to the sever.

      Hi Jaya,

      the security concept of Windows is like this: You having Administrator credentials is only allowing you to run applications as Administrator (it will not start them automatically in that context). If you start an application normally the application will not be able to modify certain files and folders on a file system, nor will it be able to install a service (which you need to do soon as well).

      To run an application as Administrator will enable the application to do so and your authorizations as Administrator on the systems allow you to do that.

      Regards

      I agree with Norman.

      My advice would be to check with your system administrators and ensure that the account you are logging in with has permissions to write to the VDS folders.

      Hi Jaya,

      You need to get modify access to the folder where .vdsettings file is saved. That should resolve this issue.

      Let me know how you go. Cheers!
