Unable to run the dotnet service

[sun0555]

Hi Team,

i have created the service for dotnet exe in advanced installer. but it is unable start the service due to below error in event viewer.

Application: Server.Host.exe
CoreCLR Version: 4.6.28207.3
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The configuration file 'appsettings.json' was not found and is not optional. The physical path is 'C:\Windows\system32\appsettings.json'.
at Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.FileConfigurationProvider.Load(Boolean reload)
at Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.ConfigurationRoot..ctor(IList`1 providers)
at Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilder.Build()

but the appsettings.json exist in APPDIR but it is searching in "C:\Windows\system32"

can you have look into it.

Thanks In Advance.

Hello,

From what I see here, this behavior is all handled by your service executable.

Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The configuration file 'appsettings.json' was not found and is not optional. The physical path is 'C:\Windows\system32\appsettings.json'.

It looks like your executable is expecting the JSON file in the system32 folder.

I'm not quite sure if there is much we can do here, besides copying the JSON file in the expected location (e.g. system32 folder).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Catalin
