Web Part Error (web part not registered on this site as safe) - Sharepoint

Hi Diane

Is this a built in WebPart or a custom one?

Either way the first place to check is to make sure that the assembly is
registered as safe in the web.config file.

It is custom. The web.config has the assembly as safe. Someone suggested
that I make the trust level as full.

I have a <securityPolicy) with settings of
<trustLevel name="WSS_Medium" policyFile="c:\........">
<trustLevel name='WSS_Minimal" policyFile="c:\.........">

Then there is
<trust level="Full" originalURL=""
processRquestInApplicationTrust=flase"></trust>

The documentation that came with the webparts said to change WSS_Minimal to
Full, but I don't see a path for the policyFile for anything called full.

I hope this message makes some sense - it may not and I am new at this ;-(

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Diane

What the document is refering to is the trust level which by default is set
to WSS_Minimal.

From the look of your web.config file it's already set to full. i.e.

<trust level="Full" originalURL=""
processRquestInApplicationTrust=false"></trust>

From the error message I'd double check how you've got the assembly setup in
the SafeControls section of the web.config file as that seems to be what
it's conplaining about.

Your are doing an iisreset after you modify the web.config file aren't you?
As any changes you make in there don't take effect until after you've done
that.

Hi Diane

Just had another thought as to where the problem might be having run into it
when deploying one of my WebParts.

Although the web.config file looks right is it the correct web.config file?

For instance if your site your trying to use it on isn't the default web
site but a virtual one then that will have it's own web.config file & you'll
need to change that one to add the assembly to the SafeControls section.

If it is a virtual directory then look in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories for the sub directory for your
site & you should see it has it's own web.config file.

Your administrator should create a "trusted" location (document library) that
you will post your 'source' document to. Right click on the document to copy
the shortcut, and navigate to your webpart where you want to display the
document. Select to modify and paste the url (address) of the source document
in the field. This works for me using Excel Services, but getting links to
remain active after displaying has proven problematic for me. Hope this helps.
