ASP.NET - The file '/default.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested.

Hi Experts,

I have a website that has been running for a year. Without changing anything in my code, I started getting the below error. Note that the site is built with the same concept of the iBuySpy (loading user controls on a single default page). The site is hosted with a hosting solutions and I am not sure if they have changed anything that would cause such an error. Please read the error and let me know what I can understand from the stack trace:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Hi,

The file '/default.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested.

Seems the running asp.net working process on server is unable to pre-compile your website. That is, asp.net working process is unable to create .dll files in Asp.Net temporary folder. If you have option to check those files in that folder, confirm that dll files are being created on requesting that .aspx page.

I do not have access to that. But I have noticed that the website works fine for few minutes then later upon refreshing, I face the same errors.
