Hosting ASP.NET MVC Application: Security Exception

asp.net-mvc, asp.net-mvc-5, c#, shared-hosting, web-hosting

Solution

Most of hosting provider offer FULL Trust hosting now. MVC does not accept partial trust.

<system.web>
     <trust level="Full" />
   </system.web>

If this does not work You should contact your hosting service provider if you don’t have access to the server.

What we do is run the following in our dev.

<system.web>
  <trust level="Medium"/>
</system.web>

Changing the trust level makes the staging environment fail with the same error shown on the shared host so you can correct your code to comply with your host. If you’re deploying to a medium trust hosting environment you’d be wise to set the trust level to Medium up front to save time and energy down the road.

Problem

I Have an ASP.NET MVC 5 application that works fine on the development machine. I published it and transferred the files online, and it generates the following error: ``` Security Exception Description: 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 failed. Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

My settings are as follows: ``` Framework version: 4.0.30319.17929 Default webpage language: C# CAS trust level: FULL ``` Can anyone guide me as to what is the problem. Is it the app or the hosting?
