appcmd has insufficient permissions to read redirection.config

  • 772

I have this problem with my IIS7:

C:\Users\vtortola.dk>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list site
ERROR ( message:Configuration error
Filename: redirection.config
Line Number: 0
Description: Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions
. )

Every time I try to publish an ASP.NET app to my computer, I cannot use it because IIS cannot read the configuration file, and I don't know how to fix this problem.

I've found the file at C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config, and the permissions are for:

  • SYSTEM
  • MyDomain/Me
  • Administrators (MyPC\Administrators)
  • TrustedInstaller

Is this correct? What might be wrong?

iis-7 appcmd

  1. Yes, you need to make sure that you run AppCmd.exe from an elevated command prompt, since otherwise you will not be running as Administrator.
