    Can't save umbracoSettings.config

    Hi

    Suddenly I can't save the umbracoSettings.config file.

    I get this error:

    Server said: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. 
    Error -160: could not start data transfer

    I can't save, move og remove the file from the directory.

    What to do?

    Hi Michael

    Are you trying to edit the file on a live site? Then I guess that the IIS is using the file.

    Maybe you can try editing the file on your local machine, and then upload it to the server. If that's what's going on.

    Not sure this will work, but maybe you could give it a shot.

    Hi Kim

    I had tried to edit the file on my local machine and then upload it to the server but it won't work because I couldn't overwrite the file.

    What worked was that I have to set customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"  in the web.config file, refresh the page, then edit my umbracoSettings.config and now I could save the file. Hereafter I have switched the customErrors mode back to Off.

    Thanks anyway :)

    Cheers,
    Michael
