Failed to start monitoring file changes when impersonation=" true".

[Edward Yang]

I setup web.config with impersonation=" true". On our local server the project works great. I did the same procedures on our staging server, but it failed with an impossible error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:; ASP.NET Version:

Note! There is no text afeter the last colon! I copied all the text on the error page.

I am impersonating my account, which is in Administrators group on the staging server, and I have full access control to the myapp project directory. Additionally, I also tried to give full access control to my account on the %windir%microso ft.net\framewor k\v1.x.x.xxx\Te mporary ASP.NET Files, but the error persists. Actually this step is not necessary, since Administrators already have full access control of the directories.

Can anyone help?

Seems to be a permissions problem

With impersonate = true, the thread takes the identity of either:
- the anonymous IIS user (if it is allowed for the Web application and no
ACL restriction nor Web.config forces the authentication of a Windows user)
- the Windows user (else)

In any case, whoever is impersonated lacks the necessary permissions to the
web folders and the pages can not be compared / recompiled if necessary

Regards
Jose.
