Thread: Hosting issue on Rackspace cloud site

I am guessing this is not a new question, but I didn't find anything in my search of the forums. I already looked at the article in the knowledgebase, but it is not helping. I am trying to set up a staging site on Rackspace using their cloud site hosting. But I get an error with the Microsoft WSE component. when I first got the error I loaded the dll to the bin directory on the site and set read and execute permissions, but I still get an error. I have included the error text below. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That's really something you're going to need to go to Rackspace's support folks for. They'll have to check the site on their end and see what permissions need adjusted.

Thanks for the quick reply. I spoke to the folks at Rackspace and they say the issue is with medium trust. Everything I can find on your site about medium trust states that it should be supported. Is that true? Or is there a special version/compile I need to have for medium trust to work.

Thanks

As long as you're on a version after 7.0.2.5 SP1, the software will run in medium trust natively. Only 8.0.1.2 or higher will work on a cloud environment though.
