"File not found error..." whenu click on Layouts folder files..

ASP.Net Config Tool and MOSS 2007



Today our SharePoint server raised a nice exception: ‘File not Found’ when you tried to log on. Off course we were already familiar with the sound exceptions SharePoint raises so we inspected the event log.
Error: Failure in loading assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c
Error: Failure in loading assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c

The solution was pretty forward, but raises the question how compatible is Microsoft with Microsoft…..

It seems that when you modify the web.config with the ASP.Net Configuration Tool, it adds an attribute (xmlns) to the <configuration> tag like so: <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
so remove the attribute (xmlns) now thwe site would work.
