temp\apppools\<appPool>\<appPool>.config missing read permission

jyg 1

I have a website that is laid out as follows:

Sites
---------Site 1
------------------Application 1
------------------Application 2

Application 1, Application 2 and the 'Site 1' are in separate app pools. Each app pool uses 'ApplicationPoolIdentiy' as the user.

When IIS creates this config file
temp\apppools\<appPool>\<appPool>.config

it doesn't give the respective 'ApplicationPoolIdentiy' read permission to the file. This causes my site to not work until I manually set the permission. I shouldn't have to do this; IIS should do it automatically.

Is there something I am missing?

I am running the following version:
10.0.17763.1 (Windows Server 2019)

Note:
On my own computer, I don't have this problem:
IIS: 10.0.19041.1
Windows: (Windows 10 20H2)

@jyg

it doesn't give the respective 'ApplicationPoolIdentiy' read permission to the file.

Do you get any error messages when there is no read permission? How did you set the permissions manually?

Yes, I do get error messages. The error message is that the file can't be read.

I set it manually in the explorer.exe gui.

Anyway, after reinstalling IIS, it seems to be working now.
