"Parser Error Message: Access is denied: Source Error: Line 198: "

Hi,

One of the stunning errors you may get while trying to browse your page is

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Access is denied: 'MyWebApp'.

Source Error:

Line 198: <add assembly="*"/>

As you can see the debug information is quite unclear and it would leave no trace of idea as to where the problem is.

The actual problem is because of the Microsoft Indexing Services which scans the Temporary ASP.NET Files and while doing so, the system puts a lock on the same.

To resolve this, the following steps need to be carried out:-

1. Start - Settings - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer mangement.

2. Expand the services and applications node and select the Indexing service node.

3. Expand the Indexing Service Node and then select and expand the System Node.

4. Right click on Directories and select new directory. browse the path to the temporary asp.net files c:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\.

5. Select the temporary asp.net files. give ok and then select the "NO" in the Include in index radiobutton.

6. give ok and then stop and start the indexing service.

this should solve the problem.

Apart from checking the Index Server. Do check the Antivirus log. You need to exclude the Temporary ASP.NET folder from being scanned in the Antivirus. This solved the problem for me.

This seemed to help but I'm still getting the problem sometimes. When I checked what program has a lock on files in the temporary ASP.NET folder, I found a program called cisvc.exe had a lock that was preventing me from running my app.

Here's what I found out about that exe file. I still don't know how to prevent it from locking files in my temp asp.net folder. Any ideas???

Description:
cisvc.exe is a process that belongs to the Microsoft Windows Operating System. It is used to monitor the memory usage in CIDAEMON.exe and prevent low memory problems. This is an essential system process and should not be removed. This program is an essential system process and should not be removed.

I had the same problem- There is another resolution. This applies to Windows Server 2003. Here's how:
1) Invoke IIS Manager (inetmgr.exe)
2) Expand Web Sites-->Default Web Site
3) Right-click on the app in question, and choose "Properties"
4) Note down the entry selected for "Application pool:"
5) Now, still in IIS Manager, expand "Application Pools"
6) Right-click on the application pool whose name was obtained in step 4, and choose "Properties"
7) In the Properties window, select the "Identity" tab
8) Under "Application pool identity", ensure that "Predefined" is selected
9) Click the dropdown for "Predefined"; select "Local System"
10) Click OK to the warning & save your changes
11) OK all the way out & restart IIS- check your app now; it should work

# re: "Parser Error Message: Access is denied: Source Error: Line 198: <add assembly="*"/> "

You could do what was mentioned above, but that would be causing a security risk, as the Local System account typically has full control of the local box. The better solution is to give the Network Service account (or the local IIS_WPG group) Change access (read, write, modify, delete access) to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files. Then restart the Indexing Service, and stop and start the application pool.
