'~/Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd' is missing in web.config

[Jo]

I get this error using Sitecore:

'~/Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd' is missing in web.config. RadScriptManager requires a HttpHandler registration in web.config. Please, use the control Smart Tag to add the handler automatically, or see the help for more information: Controls > RadScriptManager

I have tried adding lines like this with the correct versions for my DLLs:
        <add verb="*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2010.2.826.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false" />

I have this at the moment:
<add verb="*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" />

If I create a blank page and drag the control on from my toolbox I get a red message on it saying 'Error Cannot render control' so I can't get it to auto add the necessary stuff into the web.config.

This works across our sites and on my colleagues computers but not mine.

What is missing?

Hi,

These are the handlers needed for RadEditor and RadScriptManager:

<httpHandlers>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler" verb="*" validate="false"/>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler" verb="*" validate="false"/>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" validate="false"/>
</httpHandlers>

and

<system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
    <handlers>
      <add name="Telerik_Web_UI_DialogHandler_aspx" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler"/>
      <add name="Telerik_Web_UI_SpellCheckHandler_axd" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler"/>
      <add name="Telerik_Web_UI_WebResource_axd" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource"/>
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>

It is not needed to specify fully qualified names and I do not recommend you to set them to avoid versioning problems.


All the best,

I tried these with no luck - I get exactly the same error. It was pretty much what we had anyway.

Would there be anything else that would be causing this?

[Jo]

Still broken - any ideas!?

This thread is a bit old but just maybe this will help someone. The instructions above do work but the directions were not clear or complete. The first part has to be put under the configuration/system.web section to work properly. Here's a snapshot of an example web.config file for reference.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="NorthWindConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Northwind.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7.2" />
    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.7.2" />
    <httpHandlers>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler" verb="*" validate="false"/>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler" verb="*" validate="false"/>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" validate="false"/>
    </httpHandlers>

  </system.web>

  <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
    <handlers>
      <add name="Telerik_Web_UI_DialogHandler_aspx" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler"/>
      <add name="Telerik_Web_UI_SpellCheckHandler_axd" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler"/>
      <add name="Telerik_Web_UI_WebResource_axd" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource"/>
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>

</configuration>

Thank you for the clarification, Frank! Much appreciated! I'd like to also share the following resource on the topic:

Configuring Mandatory Additions

which shows the handlers' configuration needed for the Telerik AJAX components.

[Rumen]

Hi,

You can try the following:

Add a <location> section to the application configuration file to allow access to Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd to all users, like:

Copy Code

<configuration>
...
<location path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd">
   <system.web>
     <authorization>
       <allow users="*"/>
     </authorization>
   </system.web>
 </location>
...
</configuration>

You can also check this forum thread on the subject: IIS7 and Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd' is missing in web.config and this online resource Resolving the error: ~/Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd is missing in web.config.

Changing from integrated to classic fixed it.

Thank you so much for the help! Very much appreciated. =)

[Nhat]

Thanks Rumen
You are Genius!!

[VEERANAN]

super really it is very helpful thanks

[Dev]

Hi, I'm having the same issue in Sitecore. Where can I set EnableHandlerDetection to false?

[Priya]

Thanks, it workd fine by using Classic mode

I added the below code

Step1: Web.config

<httpHandlers>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler" verb="*" validate="false" />
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler" verb="*" validate="false" />
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" validate="false" />
    </httpHandlers>
  </system.web>

 

Step2: Go to IIS,

Navigate to your application under Default WebSite

And check the adtvanced setting.

Check the Application pool & Make a note of it. (ABC)

------------------------------

Navigate to Application Pool

Select the ABC and change the managePileline mode to Classic

Everything starts working perfect

Thanks.  Change to integrated worked for me too. I'm not sure why.

[Daniel]

that httpHandlers tag needs to go INSIDE of system.web in the web.config file***

[Ianko]

Hello Daniel,

Yes, the httpHandlers should be placed in the system.web section and the handlers - in system.webServer. You can find additional information on this matter in this KB article.

The problem we had was that our entire site was configured in a location node in the web.config so that child apps wouldn't get the settings.

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">

Looks like the issue is that the registration of the handlers in the handler sections within that location node was not being detected by the script manager and it throws the error, even though they are registered.

The fix I found, that doesn't require changing to Classic pipeline, is to set the EnableHandlerDetection property to false on the RadScriptManager

[Tom]

I had added the httpHandlers and system.webServer handlers above, along with this <location> section in my web.config after running across this forum, but this was not enough.

I then installed the Telerik.Web.UI (2013_3_1015) and Telerik Extensions for ASPNET MVC (2013_2_611), and when I re-launched my web project in Visual Studio 2010, a Telerik notice saying my web.config's extensions were out of date asked if I wanted it to re-write the web.config to take advantage of the new extensions.  I told the wizard to do this and checked the box to copy in the referenced DLLs to the project.  I did a build, publish, and the site finally came up with no error. 

I did a "diff" on the web.config from the previous version.  It had the changes mentioned here, but quite a few more:

    -  <compliation> tag now has strict=false and explicit=true
    -  In httpHandlers, Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd's type resource no longer has ", Telerik.Web.UI" in addition to "Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" -- only the latter remains.
    -  Additional httpHandlers were added: 

<add path="ChartImage.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler" verb="*" validate="false" />
<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler" verb="*" validate="false" />
<add path="Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.ashx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadUploadProgressHandler" verb="*" validate="false" />

    -  Additional <handlers> in <system.webServer> have been created:

<add name="ChartImage_axd" path="ChartImage.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" />
<add name="Telerik_Web_UI_SpellCheckHandler_axd" path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" />
<add name="Telerik_Web_UI_DialogHandler_aspx" path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode"  />
<add name="Telerik_RadUploadProgressHandler_ashx" path="Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.ashx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadUploadProgressHandler" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode"  />
<add name="Telerik_Web_UI_WebResource_axd" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" />

And, at the end of <system.webServer>, this <modules> tag has been inserted:

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<remove name="RadCompression" />
<add name="RadCompression" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadCompression" preCondition="integratedMode" /></modules>

There were other "remove name" tags like that in the httpHandlers and system.webServer handlers for each value, too.

So you may be able to edit your web.config manually, like above, and add that <location> piece, or install the extension tools and latest Telerik.Web.UI and have the system re-write your web.config for you.

Hopefully all of this may help someone.

Hi all,

Since this is a popular forum for the Telerik handlers I'd like to share the following important articles from the documentation with you:

web.config Settings Overview
and
General Troubleshooting.

I hope that it will guide you and solve future occurring problems related to the web.config.
