Recent contractual obligations have put me in a company handling all Sharepoint administration on there 2010 and 2013 sites respectivly.
This issue is related to Form Base Authentication (FBA) which was setup by myself on there 2013 farm in relation to an ACCESS web app which had already been established on a Site Collection in said farm.
Upon initial implimentation and currently FBA is functional on all sites in said farm, when enabling FBA on the collection though it takes some time for all collections to propigate the duel authentication window for Windows or Form Base auth. The Access
Web App on this site collection fails to load all together. Upon choosing the authentication mechanism the page is redirected to a default ASPX error page ( enable remote debuging etc ).
(Special Note: upon setting up another Access Web App on the Root of the Site collection, it functions before and after the FBA change.)
With this being said, I have drilled through Event Logs and IntelliTrace Captures for the site and reasonably deduced after FBA is enabled the redirector for the App-**************.app.dom.com points to a default root site of /_windows/default.aspx which
is not a valid site. Upon removing FBA on the site everything is functional again.
Below are some of the key points i was able to find to support my theory:
Exception:Thrown: "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)" (System.IO.FileNotFoundException)
A System.IO.FileNotFoundException was thrown: "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"

Any Help Or insite to correct the issue and enable FBA to be used ( currently dissabled to allow access to said web app )
Or to help copy said web app to a different site collection and/or to the same site collection, to attempt to correct any issues with said web app installment.
Note: I am current administrator for said Farm, but I was not present for installation or initial site creation. Also, I'm more firmiliar with 2010 than 2013 by a long shot.
Warm Regards,
Grim
