It seems the master db has not been indexed and hence the "my items" and editor ribbon bars are not loaded.
After doing the indexing the issue is resolved and i can able to see the editor ribbon bar.

How to fix System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException in Windows Server IIS-10 when using Network Path in Owin.FileSystems PhysicalFileSystem

I have a .NET Framework 4.5 Website using Microsoft.Owin PhysicalFileSytem. In my workstation the website is running smoothly when hosting to IIS but when deploying to Windows Server IIS it throws a DirectoryNotFoundException. I'm using a shared folder as my network path in PhysicalFileSystem.
In the Windows Server I have already set the ApplicationPool Identity to Administrator account and set the Website Connect As to Administrator account
var fileSystem = new PhysicalFileSystem("\\10.12.50.40\Contents\");
var options = new FileServerOptions
{
FileSystem = fileSystem,
EnableDirectoryBrowsing = false,
RequestPath = "/InSysStorage/WebContent"
};
app.UseFileServer(options);
Exception:

YouTube Data API v3 doesn't work when deployed on production server [closed]

Closed. This question needs debugging details. It is not currently accepting answers.

I want to create a Stream and live broadcast it. The code works very fine on the localhost but when deployed it's a problem. It doesn't even request for Authorization on the Google account. Looks like it doesn't even interact with it.
Server Error in '/123456' Application.
Access to the path 'YouTubeDataAPISample.YouTube.Auth.Store' is
denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the
path 'YouTubeDataAPISample.YouTube.Auth.Store' is denied.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider
granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request
identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically
{MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6 and IIS 7, and
the configured application pool identity on IIS 7.5) that is used if
the application is not impersonating. If the application is
impersonating via , the identity will be
the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated
request user.
To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in File
Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add"
to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account,
and check the boxes for the desired access.

To find the error you will have to do one of three things:
Log onto the server and hit it on 'localhost' in order to see the detailed error information.
Write some custom code to output logs to somewhere so you can read them.
Disable customErrors as suggested in the error message you have. This is a bad idea, but it's your call.
It should set to remoteonly.

attempting to access glimpse.axd and getting error

i've installed glimpse through console package manager by this
Install-Package Glimpse.EF6
Glimpse.EF6/1.6.5 is installed on system and added in preferences.
following 'http://getglimpse.com/Docs/' tutorial, when i try to access http://mylocalhost/Glimpse.axd it shows me error
"HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
searched for the solution and found something here.
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
this line is already there app-start. tried to add keys in web.config but that shows error
"Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated. "
using IIS express. any help will be appreciated.
EDIT: i turned off the custom errors and found this is the actual problem when i try to add those lines in web.config.

The static constructor for Product.Global is raising a NullReferenceException. This is likely due to some hard coded value that is different or unavailable on that system.
Potential candidates would be localization issues (trying to parse strings in the wrong culture) causing a value to not be initialized, a missing configuration value, or anything else that is occurring within the static initialization of that type.
