Visual Studio 2010 + ASP.Net Web项目：在当前文件夹中查找web.config（而不是root）

Question

So I have been developing this application for my boss over the past few weeks and then last night the IT Administrator jacks with my machine. I think the only thing he did was rename the computer name, but there could be more. Anyway, I reopen the project after getting on the computer and now the ASP.Net web project is looking into the current directory of every aspx file for a web.config instead of for the web.config in the root of the project directory (where it has been this whole time).

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: An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to 'C:\\*web project location*\\pages' because access is denied.

Source Error:

[No relevant source lines]

Source File: C:\\*web project location*\\pages\\web.config

The web.config file is located and should load under c:\\*web project location*\\web.config. There is no other web.config files in the project. I have various folders defined in the project for different parts of the application, a folder for UserControls and for MasterPages. If I open any aspx file from one of these sub folders, the <%@ Page %> directive says it is looking for a web.config file in that directory instead of the root of the project.

Please help! I have been Googling and searching stack for an answer with no results. The only details I can find related to this occurring when deploying to IIS. I am not doing that.

Thank you in advance for your help. It is much appreciated.

Answer 1

I found the answer to this question. The Web Project was impersonating an identity.

From my web.config:

<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" userName="DOMAIN\AppUser" password="Password" />

Not sure why the issue started occurring after the machine name was changed, but I was able to resolve the problem by adding the impersonating identity to the workstation (Win7) under Control Panel > Users > Manage Users and also by adding full permissions to the project directory for that identity.

I also found this post which led me to an even better possible option:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824308

Changing the Security Policy of the workstation should prevent future problems if other identities were used. I did not try this option yet however, because I have a deadline to meet.
