NopCommerce error SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.Core.dll' is denied

Question

I got this error continually on my nopCommerce website.

Application startup exception: System.Exception: Plugin 'Seven Spikes Core'. Access to the path 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\Plugins\bin\SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.Core.dll' is denied.

I have tried disabling overlapped recycle in the application pool and still, I still get the same error occasionally. What's the permanent fix?

I'm using nopCommerce version 4.20 version.

Answer 1

It is because of the shadow copy of plugin which is resolved at the nopCommerce4.2. To resolve the error you need to follow below steps

1. You need to stop app_pool and the website.
2. Remove the all .dll from the plugin bin folder(your website==>Plugins==>bin)
3. At the appsetting.json(root directory of the website) change "UsePluginsShadowCopy" : true to "UsePluginsShadowCopy": false
4. Start the app_pool first then website.

It should resolved the error. I faced same problem and get solution by following the above steps. You do not need to disable overlapped recycle.
