We are getting this error message in one of our ASP.NET web application every now and then. The frequency of the error is not fixed. It appears anytime and in any page. The permissions are set properly as the whole application works fine. It is just that after few hours this error appears. It is fixed if the IIS is restarted or the ASP.NET worker process is recycled. We have Framework 1.0 and the 2 methods given in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;317955 doesn't fix it. We cannot upgrade to Framework 1.1 for some other reason. Also the Trace that we get is not match with traces given in any support articles. The physical directory is on a different fileserver but that is the case for another application that works well. All settings are identical for both the applications. Here is the trace that we get ...
