Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions


 

Was getting this issue in one of my ASP.NET application in IIS 7.

Gave Read Permission to IIS_IUSRS on the site.

This fixed the problem.

Good resource on Special Characters


Just found a good site,

http://www.the-art-of-web.com/javascript/escape/

I had this url in CRM 2011 for creating related entity record

 http://servername:port/orgname/main.aspx?etn=contact&extraqs=_CreateFromId%3d%257b554272F4-A8E1-DF11-AF7A-00155D045700%257d%26_CreateFromType%3d10001%26etc%3d2&pagetype=entityrecordBye.

quickly wanted to escape the special character, used the tool given at that site to get the url without any special character

 http://servername:port/orgname/main.aspx?etn=contact&extraqs=_CreateFromId={554272F4-A8E1-DF11-AF7A-00155D045700}&_CreateFromType=10001&etc=2&pagetype=entityrecord
