Theme 'Default' cannot be found in the application

I have the error:

Theme 'Default' cannot be found in the application or global theme directories
Stack Trace: 
[HttpException (0x80004005): Theme 'Default' cannot be found in the application or global theme directories.]
   System.Web.Compilation.ThemeDirectoryCompiler.GetThemeBuildResultType(String themeName) +920
   System.Web.Compilation.ThemeDirectoryCompiler.GetThemeBuildResultType(HttpContext context, String themeName) +73
   System.Web.UI.Page.InitializeThemes() +8699455
   System.Web.UI.Page.PerformPreInit() +38
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +282

My problem is, I never changed the Theme. I get this error just sometimes, in different pages. I don't know if this is a bug in one of the software ( EpiServer 6, IIS, Windows Server) or if I have a problem the Server's HDD.

Some one have a idea about this problem. I know this is a trick questions, but I have no idea about this issue.

Solution

  • Check your episerver.config and the virtual path is correct

    <add virtualPath="~/App_Themes/Default/" physicalPath="C:\Program Files\EPiServer\CMS\6.1.379.0\application\App_Themes\Default" name="App_Themes_Default" type="EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathNonUnifiedProvider,EPiServer" />

    Can get confused if you switch between 64-bit and 32-bit machines
