Cannot write configuration file

Hello,
I have a problem loading up a project I have taken over from some one else. I need some guidance as I can't seem to find the solution. However im not that familiar with .NET or MVS as I once
was. The message I get is as follows :-
Microsoft Visual Studio
Creation of the virtual directory localhost:49623/ failed with the error: Filename: \\?\C:\Users\firstname.surname\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationHost.config
Error: Cannot write configuration file
However I have checked the permissions and can't see anything obvious. Under guidance from another developer I have also updated :-
www.nuget.org/
and
www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc
I am using a Windows 7 enterprise edition Dell Lattitude laptop. With MVS as follows

I'm trying to download my Master CS6 onto a new hard drive because my old one crashed and I keep getting a message saying " Cannot write the file" or "I don't have permission to access the requested resource." ? What does this mean?

Yes- it is a Mac. I went through adobes system requirements and re- downloaded supportive software. The notice seems to happen near the end of the down load with the messages above. I'll look into your suggestion. Thank you- appreciated.

Cannot write class file...

I have no idea what this means. This app was running just
fine. Then wham.
Here is the error message:

because that name conflicts with the name of the class file

If anyone can tell me where to look and what to do here, I

Try clearing out your cfclasses directory which is located on
your machine at D:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cfclasses. Then
restart CF.

There is enough diskspace available so that's not the issue.
Does anybody know what triggers the error and how we can avoid it?

no freespace in the tablespace is also the reason for this error

Satellite P500/01R reads data but cannot write data files to CD

I recently bought a Satellite P500/01R laptop. I am able to read a data CD but cannot write data files to CD. The CD is read/write.
Any ideas?

Hi
Did you try different burning software?
Im using the Nero and in my opinion one of the best burning applications.
There I can choose between CD, DVD, DL or Blueray (only possible if CD/DVD drive supports this too.)
Did you also check different CDs from different manufacturers?
You should do this since not all disks are 100% compatible.
I had many issues with different CD or DVD in most cases it was an compatibility issue I tested TDK and these kind of disk is compatible with my CD/DVD drive
Im using the R standard.

FileWriter Problem, cannot write a file larger than 8K

Hi,
My servlet write 2 files. The problem is the second file I wrote cannot exceed 8K
PrintWriter os = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("temp\\q0.dat"));
os.close();
PrintWriter os2 = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("temp\\q1.html"));
I have the following write statement:
os2.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\">");
os2.println("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE> Q1 </TITLE>");
os2.println("</HEAD><BODY><FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=\"\"><BLOCKQUOTE><TABLE border=\"0\">");
The problem is if I use this kind of statement, some println statement not appear in the destination file q1.html (those lines at bottom)
then if I turn these 3 statement and change to 1 print statement, more letter write to q1.html?
Pls tell me what's wrong with my program! Thank you

You didn't close the second PrintWriter after you finished using it?

Why "write configuration file (T)" on Close Config Data vi?

If I open a config file refnum, write to one of its sections, then close the config refnum and have "write to configuration file (T)" set to FALSE, does the config file revert back to what it was when the refnum was first opened? In other words, the write to section vi essentially has no effect?
If this is not the case, what is the purpose/function of the "write to configuration file (T)" on the close config data vi?
Thanks,
Greg

v7.1

The write VIs for the configuration set of VIs don't actually write anything to file - they write to a software buffer. If you open the write VIs you will see that essentially a "functional global", aka LV2-style global, aka Action Engine, is being used (albeit in a bit of a mess in my opinion). Thus, you need to set the input to True when closing it. That's what actually writes to disk. You would want to set that to False if you're just opening the file for reading.

Cannot feed configuration files to lookupd started in interactive mode

The manual page of lookupd states that lookupd may be run in an interactive mode if started with the -d option.
It also says:
[BEGIN TERMINAL TRANSCRIPT]
This second copy of lookupd runs independently of the system's ``main''
lookupd and does not provide information to other programs running on
your system. This allows you to try queries and test configuration
options without disturbing normal operations. The second copy of lookupd
will attempt to read its configuration options from a NetInfo directory
named /locations/lookupd_debug (NetInfo) or /etc/lookupd_debug (files).
If they don't exist, it will try /locations/lookupd or /etc/lookupd.
[END TERMINAL TRANSCRIPT]
I created the 'global' configuration file in /etc/lookupd_debug/ but it seems that lookupd doesn't read it:
[BEGIN TERMINAL TRANSCRIPT]
xfox% pwd
/private/etc/lookupd_debug
xfox% ls -l

Look for the line "ConfigSource: default".
I think it should be something else when lookupd read its configuration from a file. Indeed, no log file is created into my home directory.

Servlet I/O Stream problem: cannot write into file, error 500

I am a new Java developer and now, I am facing a problem regarding the error 500. I try to grab records from a table with a date as a constraint. There are two servlets involed: a) saveRecord and b) getRecord. Servlet getRecord will grab data from a database while another servlet, saveRecord will get the data from servlet getRecord and save it into a file. The codes are as below:
=========================================================================================================================================
// Servlet Name : saveRecord
BufferedInputStream instr     = null;
BufferedOutputStream outstr     = null;
PostMethod http_post          = null;
http_post = new PostMethod("getRecord");
http_client.executeMethod(http_post);
instr     = new BufferedInputStream(http_post.getResponseBodyAsStream());
outstr     = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\student.csv"), false));
int byte_at;
while (-1 != (byte_at = instr.read())) {
     outstr.write(byte_at);
=========================================================================================================================================
// Servlet Name : getRecord
ServletOutputStream out     = response.getOutputStream();
StringBuffer str_buf     = new StringBuffer();
str_buf = generateStudentAc();
out = response.getOutputStream();
FileStream(out, response, str_buf);
// Function Called
private StringBuffer generateStudentAc() {
     StringBuffer str_buf = new StringBuffer();
     String date = "2000-01-01";
     statement = connection.createStatement();
     resultset = statement.executeQuery("SELECT NAME, ADDRESS FROM STUDENT WHERE DATE>'" + date + "';
     // Write column headers
str_buf.append("NAME,ADDRESS");
String data_row;
while (resultset.next()) {
          data_row = "\n";
          data_row += "\"" + resultset.getString("STUDENT") + "\"";
          data_row += ",\"" + resultset.getString("ADDRESS") + "\"";
          // Write row
          str_buf.append(data_row);
     return str_buf;
// Function called
private void FileStream(ServletOutputStream out, HttpServletResponse response, StringBuffer str_buf) {
     BufferedOutputStream buf_out = null;
// Create input/output streams
     buf_out     = new BufferedOutputStream(out);
     int length     = str_buf.length();
     // Read/Write
     for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
          buf_out.write(str_buf.charAt(i));
=========================================================================================================================================
Then, the result will be post back to a JSP page. It didn't work when the records in database growing bigger ( > 100 000 records) but works nice while the records are still in a small quantities ( < 20 000 records). It seems that no record can be inserted into the file and the JSP page becomes blank. When I opened the csv file, I found a message"Error 500:" inside it.
Hope you all experts can help to figure out this problem. TQ

I am amatuer in Java Programming, so I don't know how to implement serializable interface but I will look through it.
However, as I mention before, the code run perfectly if there are not much records un the table. But once there are more and more table added in (> 1000 000 records) in the table, it becomes unstable - sometime it works but most of the time it doesn't. So, I didn't find any different event I replaced the code with String date = "=2000-01-01".
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Dreamweaver CS5 doesn't start, cannot find configuration file

Dreamweaver Could not locate the Resource file in the Configuration folder. This file is required to run Dreamweaver. Please reinstall the application.
Dreamweaver CS5 doesn't start due to the error message above.
Found the configuration folder but on my roaming profile on the server, not on C drive.
Note that I installed Dreamweaver on the second partition of the hard disk, not on C drive due to lack of space. Other Adobe CS5 software are running well such as Photoshop and InDesign.
I have tried to delete (after backup) the Configuration folder, as I read on this forum that it should be automatically recreated, but no success. Tried to copy the Configuration folder (in fact the entire Adobe folder) to the user profile on C drive, but no success.
On this PC, no previous version of Dreamweaver has been installed. However, I have used older versions on different computers, and there are in the Adobe folder on my roaming profile traces of CS4 and CS6.
Could you please advise?

Not sure which thread you have read on this forum but I suggest read this official document and then see if resolves any lingering problems.

Good luck.

Hi islandcat,
I don't understand your question.
You've got values that you read from a file. You're talking about values in text boxes. Please try to write a sensible sequence of events that you want to happen and tell me where the behavior you observe goes wrong.
Maybe you're saying this:
1. Read initial values for text boxes from a file on startup.
2. Allow users to modify values in text boxes during operation.
3. Save altered values to file again when shutting down the app.
I didn't study your code carefully enough to really understand what you're doing. I'm not sure that I want to.
I've taken care of your exceptions. Unwanted behavior is really your problem. I'd suggest that you study what you've done more carefully and try to figure it out for yourself. You'll get some satisfaction out of having solved a real problem. You might even learn something about how to go about it. - MOD

Modification to Write Configuration .ini file

I have found one of the annoying things about Labview's configuration file VI's is that when the configuration file is written, all spacing between sections is eliminated making it hard to read, even if the spacing was there to begin with when the file was read. For example, I would like the file to look like
[Header1]
key1=value1
key2=value2
[Header2]
key3=value3
key4=value4
But it comes out looking like:
[Header1]
key1=value1
key2=value2
[Header2]
key3=value3
key4=value4
making it harder to read.
I made a modification to the file Config Data to String.vi which is located \vi.lib\UTILITY\config.llb\
Make a backup copy of \vi.lib\UTILITY\config.llb\Config Data to String.vi and replace the file in the config.llb with the attachment (saved as LV 8.0).
What I did was any time a section header is to be written to the file, I preceded it with another CRLF character so that it creates a blank line just before the section header. To keep from having an extra blank line at the beginning of the .ini file, it does not create the CRLF there.
I hope others will find this modification useful.

The idea itself is great, but I don't like the idea of changing vi.lib files (for several reasons).
I didn't look at your code, but I assume that at least in this case, the resulting files will still be processed fine by machines which don't have this modification, so it's probably not as bad, but I still don't like it.
You should probably go to the Product Suggestion Center and tell NI about this idea.
I agree about not trying to change the vi.lib files. It gets into modifying code that is rather deeply embedded about 3 or 4 sub-vi's down. By my testing, machines without the modification do handle the files just fine. The alternative would be to create a backup copy of the whole library and rename the files and use my own versions instead. I've recently installed the OpenG files and looked into them. I like the functionality they provide to be able to store and retrieve clusters of configuration data. Of course they have NI's write configuration files at the heart as well, so if they link to the original VI library then they will generate the same .ini files missing the extra lines that I like.

Thanks, I already did this some time ago when I created a test VI to just read and close an .ini file. I found that without setting the "write configuration file" flag in the close config file VI (which defaults to True), the whole file got rewritten even though nothing had changed. That's how I stumbled across this loss of blank lines thing.
I hope NI will look into that suggestion and add it to the config file VI library in the future. It would probably need to be implemented with a flag that says "Add blank lines?" that would default to False so that the original behavior of the VI could be maintained. Since the VI that controls the appearance of the file is a few layers deeper than Close config file VI, that flag would have to be passed through a couple of sub-VI's.
Thanks for your feedback.

I cannot open Firefox as I get the message that Firefox failed to read configuration file. I uninstalled and reinstalled latest version and still cannot open with the same error.

Last week when the automated upgrade came I said yes and then stopped it midway as it was not a good time to reboot my laptop. Since then, when I try to open it says cannot read configuration file - even when I uninstall and reinstall - still cannot open it with the same error.

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Help Please.

I am experiencing this as well. I've found a workaround. Once you know the file has stopped (the Safari download menu says it cannot write the file) then do the following:
1. Open the Downloads folder.
2. Open Terminal.
3. In Terminal type "cd " and then drag the "incomplete" .download file to terminal (this just copies the path), then hit "Return" and you will change into the directory.
4. Type "ls -l" and you should see within the .download bundle, the complete file is actually there and complete.
5. Now, let's say the file name is "file.mp4" type "mv file.mp4 ../" and it will be moved out of the bundle one level up into the Downloads folder. You may need to enclose the file name in quotes if it has any special characters.
6. You can now drag the .download container to the trash, and the file should be fine.
