Server Application Error

[Darren Bennett]

I have an ASP.NET web application that has been running
fine for 18 months. Suddenly the other day I started
getting the following error:

"An error occurred while try to load the string resources
(GetModuleHandle failed with error -2147023888)."

It's is not a problem with the application because the
same application is running fine on another web server.

Any help tracking down this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Check if web.config is set to impersonate IUSR ( in case
yes, check the access rights of IUSER).

Alternatively, you can try to run Aspnet_regiis with -i
option Also.

Hi Avneesh,

Thanks for your reply. I have just tried both of your
suggestions but neither of them has fixed the problem.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thnaks,

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for your reply. The reason I posted my question
again was because I couldn't see my original posting from
yesterday.

I'm using IE6 to browser the newsgroup and still can't
find my orginal posting. Can you please post your answer
again?

Thanks,

~Darren~

Hi Darren,

Firstly I want to thank Natty for the great help in this issue.

Based on my research and experience, the possible reason of this issue is
that the ASPNET account does not have the privilege mentioned in the
articles
below.

ASP.NET
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=824308

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=821546

The solution is adding ASPNET account to the "Impersonate a client after
authentication". Please refer to the mentioned Knowledge Base articles
carefully for this issue.

"...
This article discusses the "Impersonate a client after authentication" and
"Create global objects" user rights. These new security settings were first
introduced in Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) and help to increase
security in Windows 2000.
..
After you install Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) on your computer, some
programs that use impersonation may not work correctly.

I hope it helps.
