ARS WI site creation failed: The specified path already exists.

lrigs
over 6 years ago

Hello,

I just upgraded my environment to 7.1 in Dev.

I'm trying to configure a custom web interface on a server that had 6.9 installed.

I'm importing the custom interface from an export. It seems to work fine from a new servers.

Although when trying to import to a server that had 6.9 i get the following error.

Does anyone know where i might look to delete this path?

I've made sure after the uninstall of 6.9 to remove the virtual websites but cannot see any references to the site i'm attempting to import.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Lu

    Hey Lu,

    When looking in IIS under 'Default Website', have all of the older sites been deleted?

    Also, it is not really a supported/recommended configuration to import a 6.9 site into a 7.x instance due to the site redesigns. It will accept the import, however there is a moderate chance you will run into issues down the road.

    Nick,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes i've confirmed that the older sites are gone in IIS. Which is why I'm stumped.

    Thanks for the advice on the imports. I will probably recreate them from scratch knowing there maybe some issues.

    Although I would like to keep the original site names but get the same file path already exisit error when trying to rename.

    Thanks for the help and advice, Lu

    See the log below...

    Hey Lu,

    If you navigate to:

    E:\Program Files\Dell\Active Roles\7.1\Web\public\Interfaces

    Do you see the site name listed there? If so, you can delete it.

    Did you check the applicationhost.config file?
