    Umbraco Forms stopped working after restoring web.config

    Umbraco Version: 7.3.4

    Context: Our web server ran out of space and before I realized I tried to save a change to our web.config file causing it to "save" as an empty file.

    I then restored a backup of the web.config from a few days ago and that fixed the resulting 500 error that our server was showing.

    Everything looked fine until i was told our forms were all showing up with errors:

    System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): Error executing child request for handler 'System.Web.Mvc.HttpHandlerUtil+ServerExecuteHttpHandlerAsyncWrapper'. ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException (0x80004005): C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CEAV_Live\Views\Partials\Forms\Form.cshtml(88): error CS1061: 'FieldViewModel' does not contain a definition for 'FieldType' and no extension method 'FieldType' accepting a first argument of type 'FieldViewModel' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

    and from the backoffice

    Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found): backoffice/UmbracoForms/Form/GetWithWorkflowsByGuid

    I was just hoping to be pointed in the right direction.

    Thanks!

    Hi Jayden

    Check the files and folders permissions, also check that all Umbraco forms files in App_Data folder are not corrupted. Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Our Umbraco Forms folder is located in App_Plugins directory and the all the form files are not corrupted.

    Should I be looking for anything specific in permissions?

    What I can see is that folders are read only. Both folders and files have full control set for the relevant groups/user names, including IIS.

    Thanks, Jayden

    This issue was resolved by restoring the Umbraco Forms files from a backup.

    There must have been some corruption somewhere during the time that the server was full.

    Thanks for your help Alex!
