Unable to publish customization from Customization Project Browser screen

Question

I am having a weird case where I am unable to publish customization from Customization Project Browser. Whenever I click on Publish Current Project menu item from Publish menu, it opens up Compilation immediate window with Publish Customization heading but then it just stuck there with no further process.

But, I can publish the same project from Customization Projects Screen where I select the Customization Project with checkbox and click on Publish action icon.

Currently, that's the workaround I am using to publish but is there any other way that I can do to fix this issue?

I have cleaned up ASP.NET Temporary Files and Acumatica's Apply Updates.

Thanks.

Answer 1

that's due to some update in .net framework. the solution is to update acumaticaERP to the latest, or do some workaround.

1. publish from custom project form
2. edit web.config and add <add key="aspnet:DisableAppPathModifier" value="false" /> to appSettings

Answer 2

I discovered the reason for this strange behavior, as well as the solution. It happened to me as well.

Reason: the w3wp process encounters an error during publishing. The folder permissions for c:\Program Files\Acumatica ERP\TemporaryAspFiles[yourAppName] have been removed or deleted for the speficic windows account, which is used by the ERP, and the temporary sub-folders can't be created without create permission. I can't see how it happened, but I noticed the strange behavior occurred after the last "major" windows update. See the screenshot for the proof.

Solution: re-apply the user account security for your application folder. That is how I fixed the publish problem on my end.
