  web.config locked Reply Contact We sometimes have customers with this error: HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid. Module IIS Web Core Notification BeginRequest Handler Not yet determined Error Code 0x80070005 Config Error Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions Also using ftp they can't delete/overwrite their web.config   This happens with new sites when ppl test it. If you wait some hours then all is fine, also reboot of the storageservers solves the problem.

  Re: web.config locked Reply Contact ACL's don't change. The fe servers have full control as has the ftp user. When we have this error and you try to create a web.config using 1 of the fe servers i get this error message: File in use The action can't be completed because the file is open in an other program   I'm logged on to the server using a domainadmin account. If i try to create the file on the storage server i don't get this error. An other thing is that there is no web.config in the rootfolder of this site?!?

A user is using ftp or visualstudio to create and delete folders, when he deletes the folder and creates a folder with the same name again he gets an access denied. Is there some caching on front end servers in iis7?

  IIS puts locks on folders. Reply Contact These things you talked about seem a little similar to our problem here. When we build our application we first delete the correspondent folder in IIS7 wwwroot and than recreate it. If we use the application before building it again (everyone does this), we get an access denied error on the folder deleted when recreating it. So, I did the following thing. Instead of building I manually deleted the folder in wwwroot and refreshed the windows explorer page. The folder reappeared. I than fired up process explorer and searched for a handle with the folders name. So I found out that IIS7 (w3wp process) is keeping a handle opened for that folder. Restarting IIS fixes the problem. My question is how can I fix the problem without restarting IIS each time I build the application ?

  Re: IIS puts locks on folders. Reply Contact IIS needs to register for change-notification for every virtual directory requested so it can update stuff cached in memory when things change - this means keeping a handle open to the root of the virtual directory (the root of an application is also a virtual directory).  If you really want to delete the root folder of the application, you can first remove the application from IIS configuration, you should then be able to remove it.
