Mercurial HTTP Error 500:access is denied on 00changelog.ijanuary 13, 2011

Today I created a new Mercurial repository on a Windows server. I cloned it, made some changes, tried to push, and is greeted with this:

C:\myapplication>hg push
pushing to http://servername/myapplication
searching for changes
abort: HTTP Error 500: .hg\store0changelog.i: Access is denied

My user account had write permission to the MyApplication folder on the server, and the odd thing was that I ve CR  Eated repositories there before and never had a problem pushing changes.  I compared 00changelog.i to the same file in another repository that is working.  Turns out I is using anonymous authentication and IUSR was missing write permission. I gave full control to IUSR on hg\store folder and ...

C:\myapplication>hg push
pushing to http://servername/myapplication
searching for changes
remote: adding changesets
remote: adding manifests
remote: adding file changes
remote: added 1 changesets with 114 changes to 114 files

success!

If you ' re have problems pushing to a central server with Mercurial, make sure the IIS Anonymous Authentication A Ccount (IUSR or IUSR_machinename) you have write Permission to the Hg\store folder and subfolders in your repository.
