I'm trying to add some custom properties to the configuration of a virtual directory in IIS but when I'm committing the changes I get a DirectoryNotFoundException
I've tried multiple ways of doing it, most something like this
var config = serverManager.GetWebConfiguration(serverManager.Sites[0].Name, "mycustomfolder");
var appSettings = config .GetSection("appSettings");
var collection = section.GetCollection();
var elem = conf.CreateElement("add");
elem.SetAttributeValue("key", "createdBy");
elem.SetAttributeValue("value", "me");
serverManager.CommitChanges();
The server manager object is clearly defined with
using(var serverManager = new ServerManager())
...
What I was expecting would be something like this inside the configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
</system.webServer>
<appSettings>
<clear />
<add key="createdBy" value="me" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
Instead I am getting an error
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Filename: \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\local\web.config
Error: Cannot write configuration file
at Microsoft.Web.Administration.Interop.IAppHostWritableAdminManager.CommitChanges()
at Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationManager.CommitChanges()
at Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager.CommitChanges()
Following the path in which it is trying to save I cannot see subfolders for my virtual directories, but I can create them, even programmatically
According to your description, I guess you may used the wrong site name. I have also created a test demo on my side, it works well. I suggest you could try to use site name directly.
Details, you could refer to below codes:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (var serverManager = new ServerManager())
{
var config = serverManager.GetWebConfiguration("WebForm48", "mycustomfolder");
var appSettings = config.GetSection("appSettings");
var collection = appSettings.GetCollection();
var elem = collection.CreateElement("add");
elem.SetAttributeValue("key", "createdBy");
elem.SetAttributeValue("value", "me");
collection.Add(elem);
serverManager.CommitChanges();
}
}
My IIS console:
