Got a vendor app written in .net that when using it gives an error "cannot monitor directory" or somesuch. This error here
PRB: "Failed to Start Monitoring Directory Changes" Error Message When You Browse to ASP.NET Page
If I create the directory it needs then it works ok. I have made sure the network service account has write and modify permissions to the folder, no dice.
So I gave everyone full control. No dice. I installed proc mon, and the process w3p.exe which is running as network service is the thinking chucking the cannot find path error.
It smells like the app is trying to create a temp folder to dynamically compile the page, then clear up after.
So I have a smoking gun, a solution from Microsoft that doesn't work and thought I'd see if any of the .netters on here fancy a challenge.
This is a VM running windows server 2008 r2 64 bit, and the .net app that is failing is .net 2.
This is a dev machine so doing desperate and wildly stupid things like giving everyone full control to a directory for investigative purposes is not of concern. I rolled this change and every change back once I confirmed it did not work.
