Reoccuring Issue: EventID 8dzz System.Web.HttpException File does not Exist thrown when opening Site Settings page
Previous quesiton (that I thought we had resovled) https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/25125210/EventID-8dzz-System-Web-HttpException-File-does-not-Exist-thrown-when-opening-Site-Settings-page.html
Server 2003
2 servers in farm
WSS 3.0 SP2
We have a reoccuring issue when attempting to open the Site Settings page (or even the View All Site Content link) on any site within the farm (including the Administration site). When clicking the Site Settings link, the user gets the standard "Unknown Error - Troubleshoot issue with Windows SharePoint Services" message. Running the configuraiton wizard on the servers appears to fix the issue for a couple of weeks, but then it starts happening again.
Using diagnostic logging, I receive the following:
0x01E8 Windows SharePoint Services General 8dzz High Exception Type: System.Web.HttpException Exception Message: The file '/_layouts/_controltemplat
This same error is thrown, no matter from which site I try to access the Site Settings. I have verified that the specifid file does indeed exist on both servers in the farm at
\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CON
It's certainly annoying that this pops up every few weeks, and one of our users calls to say "hey, it's broken again". Any thoughts on why this keep happening? Thanks in advance...

I checked the site this morning and got the same error.
I re-ran the SP config wizard and restarted both servers in the farm. Checking again, still error. I guess the patch/fix didn't work this time.
I just checked the Security event log on both servers, and I have no failure message from this morning - everything is success audit.

I think that may be it. Looks like opening the applicaiton.master (not even editing it) in SPD auto-removes the "~/" from the header URL references, thus breaking the links.
Opened up the page in VStudio, put the "~/" back in place, and all is working well.

did you check permissions on the folder \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CON
