Machine.config file no longer likes App

[Guest]

Hello

So, I am doing my developer thing, modifying some code in a web form 2 levels down in a web application. I try to run the App (It is worth noting here, I have run the Application 50+ times a day for the past 2 days) and I get an exception page (Note below).

Any Ideas as to what caused this little surprise? There has been no modification of this file...ever. MABillingProxy is the same it has been since January.

After attempting this post several times, a developer here suspected the Indexing service. That has been turned off, now, and the problem cited below has vanished

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.

Also, what is with the MSDN newsgroups? I have to post anything several time before I get any indication any part of the board is working. Maybe you guys should hire a consultant

Hi,

From your description, you encountered the "Access Denied" exception
recently in your ASP.NET web app. Also you found that if you turn off the
index service as some one suggested, the exception disappeared, yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my experience, there are some certain situations which'll cause
such problems.
1. When you have a certain assembly(dll) which is strong-named. If you put
it in application's bin folder rather than registered it in the GAC(Global
Assembly Cache) and if the index serviced in turned on, there'll occur the
similar exception as you mentioned. Here is the related kb article:

#PRB: "Access Denied" Error Messages When You Do Not Put Strong-Named
Assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=813833

2. When you use the Index Sevice in your ASP.NET web application and with
the impersonate as true. There'll also occur "Access is Denied" exception,
here is the related kb:

#FIX: "Access Is Denied" Error Message When You Try to Access Indexing
Service from ASP.NET with Impersonation Enabled
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=323293

In addition, according to your problem's symptom, I think the #1 is more
likely, please have a check on it to see whether it suits your problem. If
you have any quesitons, please feel free to post here. Thanks.
