Access Denied to Web.Config Failed to start monitoring File Changes

Hello,

Our site has been running great until we implemented a secured site. For some reason when users are in the secured part of the site, we get a message that crashes the whole site:

Access denied to: [Local Path To site]\CMSDesk\Web.config. Failed to start monitoring file changes.

I can then log into the CMS Desk, click Develop, then reload metadata, and the site is fine again.

Any ideas.

Thanks.

Re: Access Denied to Web.Config Failed to start monitoring File Changes

I actually found this article on Microsoft after I posted:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;317955

I locked down the whole CMSDesk folder only to administrators so that there is a dual permission scheme. Now I let browsers have only read access to the CMSDesk folder. Think that would help?

Thanks

Guest	rhavlick - 1/26/2006 5:09:06 PM Re: Access Denied to Web.Config Failed to start monitoring File Changes No, thats the strange thing, should there be? Or should the web.config just be in the root directory? Because that one is there. Thanks.


Guest	admin - 1/26/2006 5:13:46 PM Re: Access Denied to Web.Config Failed to start monitoring File Changes Well, you should have only one web.config file in the root of your web project. Best Regards,


Guest	rhavlick - 1/26/2006 6:54:47 PM Re: Access Denied to Web.Config Failed to start monitoring File Changes Yeah, hmmm... Again, this is only happening when someone is logged into the secured or private area for a long period of time. Is there some time out function being called possibly? Thanks.


Guest	admin - 1/27/2006 4:55:28 PM Re: Access Denied to Web.Config Failed to start monitoring File Changes Actually not, we do not use any session time-out handler. Could you please try to reproduce it on some other machine? Thank you. Best Regards,


Guest	rhavlick - 1/30/2006 6:03:19 PM Re: Access Denied to Web.Config Failed to start monitoring File Changes Well not sure, I allowed for read only access to the CMSDESK directory, and even though the file doesn't exist in that directory, everything seems to be fine again, so I'm not sure. If anyone else ever gets this, then it's actually just a security issue with the server I believe. Thanks.
