Publisher folder doesn't see .qvw files

cjzimm76 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I have QVS V11 with Publisher. I just changed the path of the Distribution Services in Management Console and hit apply. However, when I go back to the Source Documents tab and expand the server, the path has been updated but it doesn't have any documents under it. And I have copied the .qvw from the old Publisher folder to the new one. Why can't I see the .qvw files in the Source Documents tab of MC?

Might be an issue with the service account having the correct rights to read the folder.

Please give full permissions to QV Admininistrator group for your new source folder.

I gave the QV admin group permissions to the new folder. But still no luck. I have even stopped and started all of the services again to make sure it would be refreshed but no luck.

I'm just trying to change drives so we don't run out of disk space. The new source folder is a sub folder of a shared folder but I wouldn't think that would affect anything would it?

And now when I go to the Source Documents tab, MC kind of freezed and then the web service fails. Not sure if thats related or not but I though I would mention it.

Please share us the screenshot of the Distribution service settings.
