QlikView Web Server Configuration File Missing on Node

The QlikView Web Server configuration file that should be located at C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer is missing.  Restarting the QlikView Web Server service does not allow this configuration file to be re-created.

Environment: 

A program or process is keeping the configuration file from being created.  Try creating a Virtual Machine without Group Policy or AntiVirus installed and see if the above process works.  If it does, the issue is with the environment and will need to be resolved with the internal Information Technology teams.  Most likely, the issue is due to Group Policy or AntiVirus software blocking the creating of the configuration file, falsely classifying it as a virus or other malicious file.

A program or process (possibly the AntiVirus or group policy security) is preventing the configuration file from being created.  You can test the following process in your QlikView environment to show that this issue is environment-related:

1.  Stop the QlikView Web Server service
2.  Delete the configuration file from C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer ***If there are any customizations to the configuration file, make a backup of it before deleting it.  You can also move it to a different location such as the desktop.***
3.  Start the QlikView Web Server service.  Upon the service starting successfully, there should be a configuration file in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer with the default parameters.
