Configuring the ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.2.2 error message

Question

Hello everyone,

I am upgrading a Windows 2012 server with ArcGIS 10.2.1 to ArcGIS 10.2.2.

I was able to upgraded first ArcGis Server 10.2.1 to ArcGis 10.2.2  and the ArcGis Client 10.2.1 to ArcGis Client 10.2.2.

I am also trying to upgrade  ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.2.1  to  ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.2.2. For that first I uninstalled  ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.2.1  and the installed  ArcGIS Web Adaptor 10.2.2.

This is my problem:

When I run the  configuration for the Web Adaptor in ArcGIS 10.2.2 http://localhost/arcgis/webadaptor I get the following error message:  �??Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis\WebAdaptor.config' is denied.�?�

I am using my own account and I am an administrator in this workstation and I have full access to the folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis\WebAdaptor

Thank you

For what it's worth, the bug and fix that are linked by bubba also worked for our 10.3 web adaptor.

Our symptom was that when we would access http://localhost/arcgis/webadaptor  in order to configure it to one of our sites, we would get the error listed above. With the exception that our web adaptor is installed in a different directory on \D.

Once full permissions were assigned to the ArcGISWebAdaptorAppPool user to the config file within the web adaptor folder no problems were reported .

Look at this article:

You may also have to change Identity in the ArcGISWebAdaptorAppPool
