    <p>I have SharePoint 2010 installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine which is also hosting SQL Sever 2008 R2. I am attempting to deploy a solution that includes web parts in the 2010 environment that is working fine in MOSS 2007.</p> <p>The Web Part feature has a feature receiver that updates the web.config. When I try to activate the feature through the Site Collection Feature GUI, I receive an access denied message. I am logged on to the server and in SharePoint with the APP Pool account which is also a member of the domain administrator group, local administrator group and SharePoint Farm Admin group. This account is also dbo on SQL Server.</p> <p>This same feature activates fine using the stsadm command.</p> <p>I have dug into this issue at length and here is what I have found:</p> <p>Looking at the Microsoft assemblies in reflector, my error is coming from the SPWebApplication.ApplyWebConfigModifications() method. I can see the trace statements from SPWebConfigFileChanges.RemoveModificationsWebConfigXMLDocument and SPWebConfigFileChanges.ApplyModificationsWebConfigXMLDocument. The next line is a Save(str).</p> <p>Below is the output from the SharePoint logs that pertain to this error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Apply web config modifications to web app<br> 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> General 8grn Medium WebConfigModification: Applying web config modifications to web app in server tw-s1-m4400-007<br> 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 88gw Medium WebConfigModification: Applying web config modifications to file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\2008\web.config 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 887b Medium Removing web config node - Path configuration/system.web/httpModules Node name add[@name='JivePageController']<br> 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 887b Medium Removing web config node - Path configuration/system.web/httpHandlers Node name add[@path='ScriptResource.axd']<br> 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 887b Medium Removing web config node - Path configuration/runtime/*[local-name()="assemblyBinding" and namespace-uri()="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"] Node name <em>[local-name()="dependentAssembly"][</em>/@name="System.Web.Extensions.Design"] 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 887b Medium Removing web config node - Path configuration/runtime/*[local-name()="assemblyBinding" and namespace-uri()="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"] Node name <em>[local-name()="dependentAssembly"][</em>/@name="System.Web.Extensions"] 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 8gp8 Medium WebConfigModification: Adding web config node - Path - configuration/runtime/*[local-name()="assemblyBinding" and namespace-uri()="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"] Node name - <em>[local-name()="dependentAssembly"][</em>/@name="System.Web.Extensions"] Node value - in web.config file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\2008\web.config 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 8gp8 Medium WebConfigModification: Adding web config node - Path - configuration/runtime/*[local-name()="assemblyBinding" and namespace-uri()="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"] Node name - <em>[local-name()="dependentAssembly"][</em>/@name="System.Web.Extensions.Design"] Node value - in web.config file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\2008\web.config 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 8gp8 Medium WebConfigModification: Adding web config node - Path - configuration/system.web/httpHandlers Node name - add[@path='ScriptResource.axd'] Node value - in web.config file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\2008\web.config 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology 8gp8 Medium WebConfigModification: Adding web config node - Path - configuration/system.web/httpModules Node name - add[@name='JivePageController'] Node value - in web.config file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\2008\web.config 5a817a37-7bf6-4d26-be51-207369e38f5b</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.09 w3wp.exe (0x15C4)<br> 0x1444 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology e5mb Medium WcfReceiveRequest: LocalAddress: '<a href="http://tw-s1-m4400-007.jivedemo.local:32843/15702467ece1408f881abeabac3b5077/MetadataWebService.svc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://tw-s1-m4400-007.jivedemo.local:32843/15702467ece1408f881abeabac3b5077/MetadataWebService.svc</a>' Channel: 'System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel' Action: xxx MessageId: 'urn:uuid:4e859532-ed7f-4937-8b88-68d3af43d589' 9f403ede-2c94-490b-a05c-e169cc5fe58d</p> <p>02/24/2010 16:05:41.10 w3wp.exe (0x0F64)<br> 0x1034 SharePoint Foundation<br> Topology f6kh High WebConfigModification: Save of web.config file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\2008\web.config for applying modifications to web app SharePoint - 2008 failed.

    1. COCan you add the code in your Feature that makes the web.config change. There are a two ways of making the change. One technique does it through a job and the other does it by making the change inprocess.

    2. COHere are the main 2 lines. The rest of the code is spread across a number of "helper" methods. _webApplication.WebService.ApplyWebConfigModifications(); _webApplication.Update(); Can you point me to the "two ways of making the change" that you mention?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
